What is the Challenge?

With so much going on in the UK this summer, we couldn't help but get involved and have a celebration of our own. But rather than the Jubilee or the Olympics, we wanted to celebrate some of the brilliant social and environment projects that are run all over the UK to create a better, more caring and supportive society for us all. Donate to your favourite project and help them to win bonus prizes for their society changing work!

To unlock the bonus fundraising prizes, each charity must reach the minimum number of 20 donors. Give to your favourite project and help them on their way!

How can I donate?

People can donate to a project online through the GlobalGiving.co.uk website.

Donors can donate to your project using a credit or debit card, or with their PayPal account.

If donors are struggling to donate with a credit or debit card, they may need to donate via paypal. A Paypal account is easy and simple to set up and makes transferring money online even more secure. To set up an account, your supporters can go here: www.paypal.co.uk and from there will be instructed to input their details and bank account information. PayPal is an internationally recognised payment platform and they make paying on line easy and secure. Once your supporters have set up an account (if they don't already have one) they can donate to your project directly through GlobalGiving.co.uk.

Donors can also give by cheque if they hold a UK bank account. These must be made payable to 'GlobalGiving UK' and have the project name written on the back of the cheque so that we know how to direct the funds. To count towards the challenge total, these will need to be received at the GlobalGiving office by post by the 8 August.

Why give?

Your donation matters! Every donation supports the great work these projects are doing and has the potential to have an even greater impact by helping them get one step closer to their goal of raising funds from 20 unique donors.
