This June, Localgiving is celebrating all the fantastic fundraisers who put themselves out to raise money on behalf of a local charity. From marathons to bungee jumps, sponsored silences to fire walks – there is a whole host of people who do amazing things to support local causes.
To help give a boost to their efforts, Localgiving will be awarding £5,000 in prizes to the causes supported by the top 20 fundraisers in June. Participants will be ranked according to the number of unique donors from whom they secure sponsorship throughout the month.
The top prize of £1,000 will go to the chosen cause of the fundraiser who has secured the most donors at the end of the campaign.
The #LocalHero Leaderboard will give up to date information on who the current leaders are at any given time.
To take part, all you need to do is think of a challenge, set up your fundraising page and ask as many of your friends and family as possible to make a donation between the 1 June 2015 and 30 June 2015.
