Fundraising questions

For donations made in Great British Pounds (GBP), the payment processing fee on Facebook is 1.4% + 20p. The rest of your donation goes straight to Macmillan. When you donate, Facebook asks if you’d like to cover these fees. If you choose to do so, 100% of your donation will go to Macmillan.
Yes. If you would like to fundraise as a group, then we encourage all participants to have their own registration to make getting your resistance band quick and easy. When you register you will automatically be set up with an individual fundraising page. We recommend you close additional pages and share just one of your fundraising pages as a group. However, if you’re a larger group and would like support, please speak to our friendly team by emailing fundraising@macmillan.org.uk or messaging us on Facebook.
There is no minimum fundraising amount, but we are asking everyone taking part in the challenge to aim for £120 to fund our vital services for people living with cancer.
