Their success
They smashed their initial target of £50,000, raising over £60,000 during the course of their Campaign.
“Other giving sites put up obstacles or barriers to giving...but two of the features of ME (Myalgic Encephalopathy) are brain fog – clouded thinking – and extreme fatigue. We had to find something that was as easy to use at possible, with no time constraints as people with ME tend to function best at all kinds of different times. It was important to us that we had their needs foremost in our minds in our choice of product used. JustGiving offered one that we, and our supporters, were comfortable with”
