We have our own Just Giving page: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/suffolk-churches-ride-and-stride-2025 to enter the Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride 2025 page on the JustGiving website, where you can log into your account and donate. If you are unfamiliar with JustGiving, it is easy to set up your own online JustGiving page by selecting “Sign up” on the top right of the page and entering the details requested. Please ensure that the place of worship you wish to benefit is clearly specified.
Here is some advice from Norman Kelly if you wish to set up your own Just Giving page for Ride and Stride……
Fundraising with Just Giving
Open page https:/JustGiving.com
If this is your first time you will need to set up a Just Giving account (your e-mail and a password)
After you click on Start Fundraising; then select Raising for a Charity.
You will then get a search box to identify the Charity: type in Suffolk Churches Ride and Stride 2025.
The next page select Just Fundraising:
Next question is Are you fundraising for an occasion: Click Skip
Next page asks How much are you hoping to raise: Enter your target
The next page asks you to personalise your page. This is where you add your story as to why you are raising money for SHCT and your local church which receives 50%. (Guidance is offered)
You will then be asked to customise your Web URL ie the Internet link to the page you have just created. Your choice of what to add after JustGiving/page
There is a photo pre supplied but if you want to add your own you can upload it on this page
Next Page Summary and then Launch.
Immediately it will ask you to make a donation to the page you have just created (your choice)
Just Giving is very naughty and automatically adds 17.5% as a “tip” to Just Giving. There is a sliding bar on this page where you can reduce it to 10%. However, there is (in blue writing) just below the sliding bar stating Enter Custom Amount. If you click on that the “tip” can be reduced to 1.5% or even eliminated.
When I send the Just Giving link to my prospective donors, I always point out that the Just Giving “tip” is not mandatory and can be reduced as I have mentioned above
Good Luck and happy fundraising for SHCT and your chosen Church.
Norman.
