Fundraising for CWJ

Fundraising is an enjoyable, rewarding experience and needn’t be a complicated process.

One of the easiest ways to start raising donations is to set up an online page and tell your friends and family to sponsor you.

HOW TO FUNDRAISE

  • Step 1

    Simply, go to a fundraising platform such as www.justgiving.com and follow the instructions to search and fundraise for Centre for Women’s Justice.

  • Step 2

    Most importantly, make sure you tell people why you are raising money and how it will make a difference.

  • Step 3

    Once you have this set up, all you have to do is spread the word.

    Email the campaign to your friends and family and ask them to share it on social media.

    We'll also be here to support you and promote your campaign. Remember to tag us in any posts and share your stories and images with us to keep you and your supporters inspired.

  • 10K around some of the capital's most iconic parks, or choose another location.

    *If you are already taking part with a legal firm you can nominate us to receive up to 50% of your funds! Email us to find out more!

  • Walk, jog or run in an Ultra Challenge of your choice and enjoy magnificent coastal scenery, or stunning open countryside.

    Ultra Challenges also arrange training walks and runs for those who would like some company when preparing for the big event

  • Ask friends for donations instead of birthday gifts by starting a Facebook fundraiser.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes! We have created a specific logo for supporters of CWJ. Send an email to info@centreforwomensjustice.org.uk with your fundraising idea and we will send it to you.

  • As a small charity, we are limited in what we can provide, however, we will do our best to provide you with what you need and are happy to speak with you about any specific requirements you may have.

  • With Just Giving, we will receive any donations automatically, so there's no need for you to do anything.

    If you've received cash, be sure to keep it secure. Have two people, where possible, to count and record the total amount. The best way to send it to us is via bank transfer. Send us an email and we’ll give you the bank details and a reference. If you’d prefer to send a cheque, please post to Centre for Women’s Justice, Oxford House, Derbyshire Street, London E2 6HG

  • We can claim an extra 25% on donations with Gift Aid.

    If you are fundraising with a platform such as Just Giving, it's simple. They collect Gift Aid on all eligible donations and will send this to us much faster than we'd normally receive it, so we can spend more time and resources on tackling violence against women and girls.

    If you're using a sponsorship form , make sure that eligible supporters tick the box or complete a gift aid form and send the details over to us. We then take care of the rest.
