RNID has teamed up with award-winning online fundraising service Justgiving, which lets you set up your own online sponsorship page free.

It's quick and easy, and allows your friends and family all over the world to sponsor you online with a credit or debit card.

How does it work?

Go to RNID's page on the Justgiving website (external link, opens new browser window) and follow the step-by-step instructions to create your own fundraising page. You can personalise it with a photo and a message to your supporters and update it as often as you like.

You email the address of the page to all your friends, family and colleagues here and abroad, and they sponsor you instantly with a debit or credit card.

What are the benefits?

You don't have to run around with a sponsorship form asking for cheques or cash - so you can spend more time concentrating on training for your event. After the event, you don't have to chase people up again because they've already paid.

RNID is guaranteed to get your sponsor money. Justgiving pays all donations to RNID on a regular basis, so we'll be able to start making the most of the money you raise before you even complete your event!

The page is open 24 hours a day so people can donate from wherever they are, whenever they like.

Justgiving has a helpdesk, staffed from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday, to help you with any enquiries you have about setting up a page and raising money online. 

How do I start?

Go to the Justgiving website (external link, opens new browser window) and click the red "Create your page" button. If you'd like to find out more there's plenty of information on the Justgiving site.
