A ‘Wonderful’ New Way of Fundraising

April 4, 2019 Leave a Comment

Before we had to urgently begin fundraising for the roof, we had begun the process of registering with a charity donations website called ‘Wonderful’. This took nearly a month to get set up, whilst they did their due diligence on us. At the time we didn’t have a month to wait when we needed funds for the roof so urgently! So that’s why we used a crowdfunding page via JustGiving.

We are now registered with ‘Wonderful.org’ who are a charity fundraising website, like JustGiving or VirginMoneyGiving, except that they don’t charge us ANY fees for accepting donations on our behalf! So, they really are ‘Wonderful!’

Our JustGiving page will close on 18.04.19.

We’d love to accept donations from now, via Wonderful instead, because we will be able to claim gift aid on those donations too, so that should hopefully boost the funds even more!

There is a button on the right hand column of nearly every page of our website which says ‘Donate to our Big Build Fund’, if you click it, it will take you to our ‘Wonderful’ page!

Or you can find us here-
