Live Below the Line fundraising tips

Follow our top tips and then download and use our resources to make sure you can raise as much as possible to help mothers like Genet. Need some more ideas? Check out our Live Below the Line foodie fundraising suggestions.

  • Once you’ve got your page set up, set yourself a target – fundraisers with a target usually raise around 33% more.  And every £100 you raise could help provide a woman like Genet with three goats and training in how to care for them.
  • Get a donation on your page before you send round the link. Most of your friends and family will be more likely to sponsor you if they see someone else has.
  • You could always sponsor yourself! Get the ball rolling by donating what you would have spent on food during challenge week.
  • Our brilliant foodie fundraising ideas will help you maximise your fundraising.
