Be the reason for their smile

Thank you for your support of Spread a Smile in our 2022 Appeal.  Our campaign goes live 10am on Sunday 13th March to 10pm on Monday 14th March when we aim to raise to fund the increasing demand for our services in the year ahead.  We want to make participation in our appeal as straightforward and enjoyable as possible for all Champions.  We will therefore be providing you with all the assets (videos, photographs, stories and quotes) you need to share with your family, friends and colleagues with an ask for support.  There are no limits to getting involved – every single £1 donated is much valued and appreciated.  By being a Champion, not only will you help us to raise much-needed funds, you will also be helping to raise awareness of the charity, the need for our services and the impact we have on young lives.

Information for all Champions

  • We will be using a fundraising platform called Charity Extra for the Appeal.  This platform allows every Champion to have their own fundraising page within the Appeal and to see in real-time who has donated to your page so you can thank them immediately.  We will create your page with a generic message and send you the link on Saturday 12 March.  If you would like to personalise your page with your own message please send any wording and photographs to fundraising@spreadasmile.org in advance of 12 March.
  • With every Champion having their own fundraising page will also allow you to see how your and everyone’s efforts are contributing to the fundraising total, building the excitement and a combined sense of achievement.
  • Throughout the 36hours of the Appeal we will send you all images, videos and messages in an easy to share format for email, Whatsapp and text to circulate to your friends, family and colleagues to encourage them to donate.
  • To stay in contact with all Champions we will create a Whatsapp Group in the lead up to the Appeal and throughout the 36 hours.  To be included in the group we require your telephone number and permission.  If you haven’t already done so please email your name and telephone number to fundraising@spreadasmile.org
  • On Wednesday 2nd March at 8.30pm we will be holding a virtual meeting for all Champions to explain how it works, how to personalise your message and share details of the campaign with your networks.  Please email fundraising@spreadasmile.org if you have not been sent the zoom link – or if you would like the recording sent to you post-meeting.
  • Further details on the Appeal are included in the Champions booklet (opposite).

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us on fundraising@spreadasmile.org or call us on 020 7482 5191.  Thank you so much.
