Spread The Word
Making sure people know what you are up to and who you are fundraising is essential to help boost your fundraising total! Here are some different ways you can spread the word about your fundraising:
- Social Media
- Emails
- Letters
- Posters, in local shops, schools or your staff room. (Don’t forget to ask permission
on first!) - Word of mouth, tell as many people as possible that you know and ask if they can help spread the word about your fundraising efforts

You can be sure that your donation will provide essential support for the cleft community. Just £20 could provide a ‘Welcome Pack’ for a family of a newborn baby with a cleft. This pack includes specialist feeding bottles and teats, along with important guidance and information about the path that lies ahead. However much you raise, you can make a real difference.
