ending human traďŹƒcking one step at a time
fundraising can seem a little daunting or even embarrassing when you start, but there are a few things that you can do to make it a lot easier. Giving money is a way that your colleagues, friends and family can support what you are doing and join you in making a big dierence to end human traďŹƒcking and exploitation. It's a chance for everyone to get involved!
fundraising online means that it is easy to contact your friends with the details of what you are doing and it is also easy for them to give directly and immediately to Oasis. The harder it is to donate, the more chance that people will forget no matter how much they support you! for tax payers in the UK, it also means that Oasis will receive the gift aid contribution from the government. we use Virgin Money Giving, to start an online giving page follow these simple steps:
visit https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving the website will take you through the easy steps to set up your page. when asked which charity you are supporting, it is very important that you put Oasis International Association, as that is our UK registered charity. ďŹ ll your page with photos, comments and the story of your involvement. Add a link to the in the long run website www.itlr.org, so people can ďŹ nd out more
think about how much you are aiming to raise. What is your target? You should set a total which is a challenge, but not unrealistic. think about who could sponsor you: family, friends, colleagues, friends at local clubs or church. It may be that these people will be happier to be asked than you imagine. List them out and think about how you might contact them. Face to face conversations are very eective but social media like Facebook and Twitter can also be a great way to talk with people. don't forget to let people know the stories from the website and the story of your own training and run. People will be proud of what you want to achieve and will support you.
If you want a more traditional sponsor sheet, we have supplied one at www.itlr.org/run/runners-guide When the money is collected, it is best to make a bank transfer to the same bank account you paid the run fee to, with a note to say what it is for.
