JustGiving: making charity fund-raising easy

My daughter Martha is going off to Guyana later this year to spend 12 months in a village teaching kids maths and science. Teachers are in short supply in Guyana, so without volunteers like those sent out there by Project Trust, kids simply wouldn’t get taught some subjects.

To go out there for a year, volunteers need to raise £4660 to cover travel, Project Trust’s running costs, etc. In order to make donating easy, and to provide a page of information to refer people to, Martha set up an account at JustGiving. It’s a really good use of the Web and I’d highly recommend it to anyone raising money for a charity.

Martha’s page is at http://www.justgiving.com/marthachristie but it expires in September, so here’s a screenshot of how it looks today:
