We at Pageant will do everything we can to help fundraisers to raise money for us. We appreciate that you would like to keep control of your publicity and have instant access to your latest totals for money raised, so we have registered with MyDonate, Virgin Money Giving and MyCharityPage. We prefer MyDonate as it has the lowest deductions from donations. However, the choice of where to create your own fundraising page is yours. Alternatively, we can create a page for you on our Pageant website, and set up online donation facilities for you from that page.

BT MyDonate

MyDonate is an online donation service run by BT, and Pageant has a home page on their site. At present MyDonate offers the best value service as they charge no fees, only passing on the handling charge made by card issuers. You can register as a fundraiser completely free by clicking the 'Start fundraising' tab at the top of any page. There are three ways you can set up your page, and you will find a whole section of hints and tips to help. You obviously need to direct your fundraising towards Pageant, so when asked to select a charity, simply typing 'pageant' into the search box should find us.

Virgin Money Giving

Virgin Money Giving offers free sign-up to fundraisers and then an easy way of creating your own fundraising page.  To create your own fundraising page, first go to our home page on their site, On the right, click the 'Start fundraising' link, and choose one of the four routes to set up your page. Just follow the instructions - it really is easy. If you need help, the 'Help guides' will tell you all you need to know.

Virgin Money has launched a charity credit card. This allows users to select any of 1500 charities registered with Virgin Money Giving, and donate their cashback to their selected charity.

My Charity Page

MyCharityPage also offers free sign-up to fundraisers, and an easy way of creating your own page To create your fundraising page, first go to our home page, click on the 'start fundraising' button, which starts the process. If you don't already have a MyCharityPage account, then you will be asked to sign up and create one - otherwise then just log in. The process of creating your own fundraising page is outlined on this 'how it works' page. We also suggest you look at the frequently asked questions on the help page.

Event Sponsorship Forms

You can download an event sponsorship form (PDF format), for use in collecting sponsors names and pledges for any event you are taking part in. If you would like to customise this form, and are proficient with spreadsheets, then you can also download the Excel version.

Fundraising Page on the Pageant website

If you would like me to create a page for you on the Pageant website, let me know and send me some text describing your event and maybe some pictures. Once I have created a page, you can put in a link to it from your own fundraising page or Facebook page, and use it to publicise your event by email, Twitter etc.
You can see examples of pages we have produced by following the links below:

  • Sarah Hayes ran the Chester Marathon dressed as a bottle, and set a new Guinness World Record.

  • Team Ibrakeforcake took part in the 2007 Plymouth-Banjul Challenge
