Fundraising
If you would like to raise money for ECHO and would like administrative support, please contact Jessica at admin@echo-evelina.org.uk. Jessica can send you a fundraising pack, put your event on the website and offer help and support. If you are taking part in a sponsored event, please remember to set up a justgiving page.
ECHO have partnered with JustGiving.com allowing all their runners & events participants to have their own personalised webpage.
All you need to do to raise funds online is to build your own page, email it to your friends, family and colleagues and they can donate quickly and easily online with a credit or debit card. No more chasing after them with paper sponsorship forms and no more running after them after the event to collect and pay in the money. Plus online donations from UK tax payers collect a 28% tax bonus.
To set up your page today visit Justgiving, and simply follow the instructions on the website.
For extra assistance, here are all the steps from the beginning. If you get stuck, please contact Justgiving's helpdesk on 0800 028 6183 for more details.
