It’s easy to make a single or monthly donation with a credit or debit card online. All you need to do is go to www.justgiving.com/escapeartistspac/donate

Justgiving reclaims Gift Aid automatically and pays donations to us directly at the end of every week. The site is 100% secure.

It’s really easy for you to raise money for us by creating an online fundraising page on Justgiving. It takes just a few minutes and you can collect donations for any sponsored event or appeal. Just go to: www.justgiving.com/escapeartistspac/raisemoney

Fundraising pages are just like paper sponsorship forms, except they’re online, so you don’t have to spend time collecting cash and cheques. Just personalise your page with a photo and message and email the web address to all your contacts. Then your friends, family, colleagues and anyone else can make a donation through your page from anywhere in the world.

You can create a fundraising page for absolutely anything. You could get sponsored to run, swim, cycle, get fit, grow a moustache or have your head shaved. You can even create a page in memory of someone or instead of wedding gifts. The only limit is your imagination.

If you have any questions, or need any help, you can contact the Justgiving helpdesk on 0845 021 2110 or help@justgiving.net from Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.
