You
are on your way to our Justgiving site! Many thanks for supporting
us....
Donating
through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.
It is
also the most efficient way to sponsor people or get yourself sponsored. Oxfordshire Historic
Churches Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK
taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to
you.
OHCT will use half your donation to give grants to
Oxfordshire Churches and Chapels of all Christian denominations to help
meet bills for repairs to the fabric. The
other half of the money you raise will go direct to the church that you
specify.
Please
be sure to mention your church's name and its town or village in the
'personal message box' when you edit your message in the next stage so
that we can send the money to the right place.
You may find it
helpful to print the instructions (below) for making your own JustGiving web
page. It may look daunting but it is actually quick with just 10 easy steps!
But if not, just click on the logo below to make a donation... |

Instructions for making your own JustGiving fundraising web page.
1. Click on the JustGiving logo above. (This will take you to JustGiving.com.)
2. In the 'Raise money for this charity' box click on the orange 'RAISE MONEY' button.
3. Read the explanation on the next page then click the orange 'CREATE YOUR PAGE' button.
4. At the next question, select 'for a sporting event' in the drop-down menu then click the orange 'CONTINUE' button.
5. In answer to 'What sort of event are you doing?' select 'Cycling', give the date as '13 Sept 2008',
then click the orange 'CONTINUE' button.
(Even if you are not cycling this is the only answer that will take you correctly to the next page.) |
6. In the list of cycling events on 13th September 2008, find 'Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust - Ride and Stride'
and click the orange 'SELECT' button beside it.
7. Next you will be asked for your e-mail address; enter it, then click on the relevant radio button to either create a fundraiser account for yourself
or, if you already have an account with JustGiving.com, to enter your password. (The password is case sensitive and that radio button has to be selected.)
Whichever radio button you select you need to click the orange 'CONTINUE' button to go to step 8 either direct or via the account registration routine. |
8. You will then be offered a selection of possible addresses for your JustGiving web page, or perhaps just one.
Select your choice and click the orange 'CREATE YOUR PAGE' button.
9. Your JustGiving web page is now created. Click on 'Personalise and share
your page' to edit your page.
10. On your page you will find a short explanation of the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust, which you cannot edit,
and yellow boxes that you can. You can enter the page title and can edit the message that is already there for you.
It is a good idea to put in a target amount that you aim to raise.
Also they make it easy to add a digital photograph of yourself or the church that will receive half the money your sponsors donate
or anything else that is relevant to motivate your friends to sponsor you.
So that we know to which church we have to pay the half share of the sponsorship, please make sure you mention it
in your message. The following text is only a suggestion that could form a basis from which to write your
own message:
| You could cut and paste suitable bits of the following; be sure to edit the bits in [SQUARE BRACKETS] if you do! |
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. This is my annual Ride and Stride in aid of the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust and [YOUR CHURCH].
Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
On 13th September 2008 I plan to [CYCLE or WALK] to [THE NUMBER YOU PLAN TO VISIT] churches in neighbouring villages ...
Use words like these to tell your potential sponsors, briefly, what you plan to do on the Ride and Stride. |
The OHCT will use half your donation to give grants to Oxfordshire Churches and Chapels. The other half will go to [YOUR CHURCH] for the General Fund.
Donating through JustGiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me:
Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, JustGiving makes sure 28% in Gift Aid
is added to your donation. When your donation is received from JustGiving, the OHCT will pass half of it to [YOUR CHURCH].
So please sponsor me now!
We, at OHCT , hope the above guidance is helpful, and that you will enjoy the Ride and Stride day,
and get much pleasure from your efforts to preserve the historic churches and chapels of Oxfordshire for posterity.
Many thanks for supporting Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust.
