Raising Money for Charity

How it all works

One of the most rewarding parts of a Charity Challenge is fundraising for a cause that is important to you. 

When people donate money in support of your Charity Challenge, they are making a difference to the lives of the charity’s beneficiaries.

Your fundraising goal and online portal will vary depending on the charity you are fundraising for, but we'll explain all that.
