Congrats - you've officially joined the Glasgow to Athens 2023 relay team!

Before you run off to do a lap of honour, quick question - when is the best time to set up your fundraising page?

Yep - NOW!

Science tells us that the earlier you get fundraising, the more dosh you'll raise and the more awesomeness you'll generate in the world. So get cracking with JustGiving's cunning one-click setup!
CREATE YOUR FUNDRAISING PAGE HERE
1. Go to the Steely Thighs JustGiving campaign

​
2. Sign in or register with JustGiving
Picture
3. Choose your fundraising page web address - something like steelyjo23 will do nicely

4. Confirm that your page can accept Gift Aid

5. Opt in or opt out of MASS Action emails about the impact of your fundraising

6. Click on 'Create your page' - that's it, done!

Now jazz it up!
As it stands, your page is looking a little generic, so click 'Edit your page' to give it that personal touch that'll get friends, family and work colleagues chucking money at you like there's no tomorrow.

  • Edit tab: Here you can change your page title, fundraising target, story and all that jazz.
    • We've automatically set the target to the minimum of £500, but over the years we've been constantly amazed by how generous people are - so don't set your sights too low!
    • In the 'Your story' section, take a little time to explain what you're doing, where you'll be joining the ride and why you're taking part. Make it personal and passionate!
  • Media tab: You can change the main cover photo to something awesome and personal (even a video!) You can also add extra photos to the gallery and, if you're feeling fruity, you might like to download a JustGiving fundraising gif or two
  • Donations tab: This gives you a summary of your donations so far.
    • If you are planning an event where people will give you cash, that's GREAT. Please gather all the coins, funnel them into your own account and then make one mega donation. This is way simpler admin and saves on JustGiving's transaction fees.
  • Settings tab: Here you can personalise your thank you message and (quite cool) connect your page with other steely riders if you'd like to join forces for fundraising.
From your main fundraising page, you can also update supporters with your training and ride misery/joy and connect your Strava account to prove to the whole world how steely your thighs are getting!

Now share the link to your page with your friends and family to get your fundraising off to a flyer!
