When it comes to collecting donations, you’ve got two routes open to you, online or offline.

The beauty of online fundraising is that you don’t have to collect the money, its all done online!

The advantage of offline donations is that its easier for sponsors to donate, particularly if you’re asking for small donations or spare change. Here’s our sponsorship form if you choose to collect money offline.

E-fundraising is quick, efficient, and cost-effective. Not only can you pay in money as you go, but online sponsors tend to give more.

There are changes afoot in the online fundraising world. JustGiving is now facing stiff competition from Virgin Money Giving.

We have reviewed the propositions and believe that Virgin Money Giving is the best option for both fundraisers and charities. This decision is based on their lower costs and the great support they’re offering.

Make a donation using Virgin Money GivingOxfam will continue to be able to receive money from all of these companies, but to make your money go further we recommend you use Virgin Money Giving to promote your fundraising.
