Ways to Pay
Explore all the ways to collect your school's fundraising money.
However you chose to collect your fundraising money, it will make a huge difference to the lives of children & young people across the UK.
Last year, 100% of the money you raised helped support children and young people across the UK – funding local projects and the people who make that support possible.
Right now, we can only afford to fund 1 in 6 organisations that ask for our help. That’s nearly half a million children going without our support when they need us by their side. With your support, we can change that.
ParentPay Donation Pages
It’s super easy to collect fundraising money with a free Donations Page from our friends at ParentPay Group – you can easily keep track of donations, and make it quick and simple for parents to donate on BBC Children in Need Day.
You can also collect Gift Aid on eligible donations, helping to boost your fundraising by up to 25%.
Fundraise with JustGiving
Set up your very own JustGiving page – an easy, secure way to collect the money you raise without handling cash! You can customise your page so it looks the part and easily keep track of how much you’ve raised!

Please be aware we have seen instances of cheque fraud and encourage our supporters to donate via online mechanics.
If you do wish to donate via cheque, please consider the following guidance:
- Banks recommend that cheques should be written using indelible ink such as a ballpoint pen and that a line should be drawn through all unused spaces. Banks also recommend that when filling in a cheque individuals should aim to fill the whole cheque, writing from the very left in large text.
- Banks advise to never to leave a space between the “£” and amount total.
- Bank statements should be monitored to keep track of cheque payments.
- If a supporter notices a transaction on their account that they do not recognise we advise them to contact their bank immediately and report the case to the police through Action Fraud by calling 0300 123 2040 or via actionfraud.police.uk.
