To reach our goal a lot of people will have to donate on-line during the Challenge, Monday 5 December-Friday 9 December. More people than we can access just from our little office!
So we need your help to contact as many people as you can to promise to donate. Experience tells us that the personal approach is the best way to get people to give to a campaign like this. We want them to make a promise so that we can remind them during the donation week.
What You Can Do:
- Write an email to everyone you know – or feel you can approach – and ask them directly to participate in the Challenge
- Follow us on Twitter and retweet our Big Give tweets leading up to the on-line donation week
- Like us on Facebook and share our Big Give posts with all of your friends, adding your own comments and appeals as you go.
- Ask your colleagues and family members to ask their friends and colleagues to participate.
- If you blog, consider plugging the Christmas Challenge, and Scene & Heard in your writing – or at least link to us in your blog.
We'll post some email templates for you to use as a starting point in the next few days.
What Are You Asking People to Do?
The Big Give Christmas Challenge is quite complicated – we would prefer that anyone who would like to donate to us during the Big Give week sends us a “promise” email to thebiggive@sceneandheard.org in advance, or sign up using this Make a Promise page . The minimum donation is £5.
