We know fundraising has changed in the last few years, but all it takes is a bit of cheeky persistence – so do keep asking. Don’t be shy! Let your friends, family, contacts and colleagues know that their support means a lot to you and could change somebody’s life.
What works
We asked our biggest hitters what works well to help you smash that target out of the park…
1 – Making sure you have a great picture and compelling story on your Just Giving page – give your contacts every reason to support you and this amazing cause.
2 – Using the whatsapp broadcast function to send a short message with your fundraising page link to all of your phone contacts – this is the quickest way to build your fundraising base – and get over the line! There’s text you can use below.
3 – Email all of your friends, contacts and colleagues along with a short paragraph about why you’re fighting homelessness, asking them to contribute – with a link to your just giving page.
4 – Tag and thank all those who have already sponsored you on Facebook and LinkedIn. This really gets others in your joint timelines motivated to support you! Use images and videos where you can.

Here’s some text you can use for your whatsapps and social media posts:
Dear xxxx, Please help me! I’m horrified at the amount of homelessness that I see every day. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have somewhere warm, safe and secure to sleep tonight. So I’m doing something about it. I’m giving up my bed and spending a night outside at CEO Sleepout. I’ve pledged to hit a target of £1000, and need your support to get over the line. Please give what you can, click on this link [insert your just giving page link] to donate. Thanks so much!
And if you need any more support or ideas, I’m here to help!
Huge thanks,
