Localgiving calls on donors to support grassroots charities

Localgiving, the UK’s leading online giving and support network for local charities and community groups, has launched its winter campaign, Winter Giving.

During the campaign appeal pages on Localgiving will be ranked according to the number of unique donors from whom they receive support.The appeal that receives backing from the most donors will top the Winter Giving leaderboard and will be awarded £300 towards their campaign. So, in this season of giving, every little really does count!

The campaign will launch on #GivingTuesday (28th of November) and end on the 14th of December.

Winter is a traditional time for charity appeals. Not only is this the season for giving but it is also a season that sees rising demand for many of the vital services provided by the voluntary sector. However, it can be very hard for local charities to get their appeals the publicity they need and deserve. This competition provides local groups a platform from which to raise awareness and galvanise support for their appeals.

Localgiving is hosting three webinars to help groups make the most of the season of giving. Webinar topics will include: running a successful fundraising appeal, reaching new audiences online and running one-day fundraising campaigns.
