However you want to get involved, we are here to help. To discuss or find out more about fundraising please get in touch: fundraising@melanomafocus.org

Once you’ve decided on your fundraising challenge and registered it with us, you need to start spreading the word about your challenge and asking for sponsorship.

Online sponsorship

To make it easy for people to sponsor you, we recommend setting up an online fundraising page. This way you can reach your friends and family as quickly and simply as possible. It allows your sponsors to find out why you’re fundraising, make a secure donation that comes directly to us and keep up to date with your progress. It also takes care of Gift Aid for you, which means eligible donations will be boosted by 25%. That’s another £1 for every £4 you raise and so makes a big difference to your fundraising total.

Melanoma Focus uses JustGiving  – just go to the page and click on ‘Fundraise for us’ to get started.
