Why not create a page on justgiving.com to help you raise money for your chosen charity?
It's simple. And it makes it much easier for you that you don't have to chase everyone who sponsored you for the money.
JustGiving.com process donations and reclaim Gift Aid for their member charities, and charge a small fee for their service. It works like this:
1. When you donate £10 on the site, they send 100% to the charity by the end of the week.
2. They reclaim Gift Aid from the government, which takes about a month, adding £2.82 to your donation.
3. It’s only when they receive the Gift Aid that they charge their 5% fee, along with credit/debit card/PayPal charges, and send the rest to the charity. If you are not a UK taxpayer and they can’t reclaim Gift Aid, their fee comes out of the donation. Since over 85% of donations through JustGiving are eligible for Gift Aid, the charities always end up raising more.
So, for every £10 you give as a UK taxpayer, the charity receives almost £12, and they get it much faster than they would otherwise.
