Ideas to boost fundraising

Fundraising can often be daunting. Here are some great tips to help you on your way.

  • Share your fundraising page on social media and add pictures of you out running. This inspires people to give, as they can see all the hard work you put in on the day.
  • Telling people why you have chosen to run for FORCE helps them to understand why it’s important to you.
  • Update your fundraising page with your training progress, maybe connecting it to fitness apps and putting up photos of training!
  • You can put on an event to help boost your fundraising.
