Social media is a simple and effective way to fundraise. Ask friends and family for a one-off donation, or to sponsor you for taking on a challenge.
On Facebook
Facebook offers a variety of hassle-free and effective ways to fundraise.
Facebook fundraiser
Raise money on Facebook with 100% of the donations coming to us, to help support stroke survivors. You can set a fundraising goal, add a story and then share with your friends.
To set up a Facebook Fundraiser, follow this page.
Use the prompts on the left to personalise it, before clicking the blue 'create' button.
If you need to change or update any of the details, click on 'edit' underneath the main photo.
We'll receive 100% of the money donated via your fundraiser.
Add a donation button
Create a post on your Facebook newsfeed with a donation button, and link that button to the Stroke Association. To do this, click 'what’s on your mind?' and then either of the following two options:
- In the 'add to your post' box, tag Stroke Association, 'post', then 'add button' to create a donate button.
- Click 'feeling/activity', select 'supporting'. Find 'Stroke Association', click 'post' and then 'add button' to confirm that you want to add the donate button to your post.
Donate directly via our Facebook page
If you don’t want to set up anything yourself, it is easy to donate straight to the Stroke Association page.
- Visit our Facebook page.
- Click the blue 'donate' button.
- Complete your payment details.
- Click 'submit'.
On Instagram
Instagram now allows charities and their supporters to raise money through Instagram stories. It's easy to do. Here's how.
- In Instagram, open the camera and take or upload a photo that best highlights your cause.
- Tap the sticker icon.
- Select the donation sticker from the tray.
- Select the Stroke Association.
- Customise your fundraiser using stories' creative tools.
- Tap 'send to'. Then tap 'share' next to your story.
As with a Facebook Fundraiser, 100% of the money raised will come to us.
