Bupa Great Run Series

JustGiving is our online fundraising partner. If you’re thinking of raising money for us, we recommend you make a JustGiving page.

Our top tips

• Be enthusiastic – you are taking part in an event for a cause you feel passionate about. Talk to your supporters.
  
• If you work for a company, ask them if they do match giving. You rasie a bit, and they match it making your total shoot up.
  
• If you have your own personal reason for supporting Diabetes UK, share it with potential sponsors and write it on your Justgiving page.
  
• Tell everyone – email your fundraising page link to all of you friends, family and work colleagues. Maybe even add it in to your email signature.
  
• Remind people that 'liking' your page oin Facebook does not save lives, but pounds do.
  
• You may still want to put a sponsorship form under the noses of work colleagues and family members which is a great way to get donations.
  
• Ask family members to take sponorship forms to their place of work, or ask your gym, for example, to put up a poster and sponsorship form.
