How to create a fundraiser on Facebook
There are so many different ways to support Railway Children – and one of the easiest is through social media. It’s quick and simple and any money raised comes directly to us to help us keep reaching and protecting vulnerable children. Setting up a Facebook fundraiser allows you to not only help us change lives, but also share with your friends and family and let them know about a cause that is important to you. Even small amounts raised make a big difference and getting started couldn’t be easier…
