Tip #1
Social media is your fundraising friend
Use the power of social media to spread the word to family, friends and co-workers about your fundraiser.
Simply share your fundraising page on your Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn profile, letting people know you are taking part in One Walk and why it's important to raise funds for T1D research.
You can also create a Facebook Fundraiser or use our FREE social media tiles to help you spread the word.
Tip #2
Donate to yourself
Make the first donation yourself in support of your special some1 (yes, even if that is yourself!) to set the standard and encourage your friends to follow your lead.
This will show your personal commitment to the cause and inspire others to support you.
Tip #3
Own your fundraising page
Personalise your fundraising page to share your reason for taking part and ask your friends to sponsor your walk.
Here are some key ways to use your page:
- upload a photo of yourself or the person you’re walking for
- share more about your special some1 and your reasons for taking part in One Walk
- post blog updates (on your page) to thank your sponsors and update everyone on your progress.
Tip #4
Donate your birthday
Got a birthday coming up? Ask people to donate to your fundraising page as part of their gift to you!
Tip #5
Declutter to donate
Got a few books collecting dust at home? Why not sell them to raise funds for T1D research?!
Other items you sell can include clothing, homewares, electronics - anything you don't use anymore that's in good working condition. It's now easier than ever to sell online - Facebook Marketplace and Ebay are a few great options.
Tip #6
Organise a fun games night to raise funds
Gather your friends, family or co-workers and organise a fun games night, whether it be trivia, bingo or a murder mystery night.
Let people know about your cause - those who wish to take part in the event can donate a fee to help you in your mission to turn type one into type none.
