Fundraise for OPFS

If you would like to join an organised fundraising event, you could join a Kiltwalk alongside thousands of other people raising funds over 3000 charities. Kiltwalk takes place in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen. Find out more about joining a Kiltwalk for OPFS.

We can share codes so people can donate through text (SMS). Email us if you’d like a unique one for your fundraising.

It may seem obvious but saying thanks to acknowledge donations no matter the size can make a big difference to your fundraiser.

Fundraisers with pictures on pages raise more donations, so it’d be great to get some pictures of you taking part / preparing for an event to share with your supporters.

Whether you are a single parent, raised by one or know single parents, tell your story in an authentic way. Your friends, family and other supporters will want to know why you’ve decided to seek donations for OPFS. Try to make it as personal as possible so it will resonate with donors.

Share your JustGiving / Facebook fundraising page where you can including your social media channels and WhatsApp to spread the word. Tag us in on your posts where you can!

You can create your own JustGiving fundraising page or Facebook fundraiser. See details on how to do this on Facebook.

It’s good to have some donations already on your page for when you start promoting it more publicly. People are also more likely to match donations made on the page already, so if you have some generous donations, it can help you reach your target.
