Using Virgin Money Giving or Just Giving saves us costs and reduces our admin burden, so going online is an efficient way of supporting us.
It’s easy to make a single or monthly donation with a credit or debit card online:
Both Virgin Money Giving and Just Giving reclaim Gift Aid automatically and pay your donation directly to us at the end of every week, and the site is 100% secure.
FUNDRAISING Both Virgin Money Giving and Just Giving make it easy to raise money: you can create an online fundraising page in minutes to collect donations for any sponsored event or appeal.
You can create your own for any event here:
Fundraising pages are just like paper sponsorship forms, except they’re online, so you don’t have to traipse around collecting cash and cheques. Simply personalise your page with a photo and message and email the web address to all your contacts. Friends, family, work colleagues and anyone else, from anywhere in the world, can then make a donation using your page.
You can create a fundraising page for absolutely anything. You could get sponsored to run, swim, cycle, get fit, grow a moustache or have your head shaved. The only limit is your imagination.

For more information about arranging a fundraising event or about selecting the John Merricks Sailing Trust as charity of choice for an existing event - please contact Suzy Hamel –
suzy@jmst.org.uk Use the John Merricks Sailing Trust as your charity for a sponsored challenge – there are many different ways to raise money through sponsorship. Utilising your favourite sport or hobby in a sponsored challenge is a fun way to help the Trust by raising money and also awareness of the Trust itself. Once you have decided on a challenge then ask as many friends, relatives, work colleagues, companies or schools to sponsor you to achieve your challenge. Many people have helped the Trust in this way with a variety of challenges including: Ironman competition, sailing, running the London Marathon, bike rides, dieting and swimming.
