Fund Raising
Organising your Fundraising Event
The MWSRP needs everyone who really cares about conserving wildlife, their eco-system and improving less fortunate communties lives. Please use this site to learn more about the MWSRP's causes. The team hopes you will want to get together and raise funds to help us achieve our goals.
Fundraising at school
Get together with friends who you know share your passion and agree among yourselves that you are going to do something to raise funds. Then go to a teacher who you think may be willing to help you.
Your teacher will be able to tell you the best way forward and help you decide how you will raise funds. There are many ways you can do this.

Tips on making the most of your fundraising page
- Personalise your page as much as possible: Add photos and write a personalised message.
- Email your close friends first. They tend to be more generous and encourage future donors to give more.
- Contact your local paper, radio and TV stations and tell them about your fundraising efforts.
- Justgiving has a widget that helps you spread the word on social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace.
- If you are completing an event, write to your friends again with an update on your activities after the completion of the event, as about 20% of donations on Justgiving come in after the event has taken place.
