How to update your Fundraising Page URL

On the second page of the online registration, under 'Fundraising Page' you will see a box for your 'Personal URL'. It is important that you change the pre-filled text to the name of your club. This will help donors know exactly which fundraising page the URL will take them to.

How to access your personalised QR code
Your fundraising page will generate a personalised QR code and link which you can share with family, friends and the wider community on your relevant social media platforms. When anyone scans your personalised QR code it will take them directly to your Fundraising page where they can make a donation!
Once you are logged in, to access your QR code please click on your name in the top right corner, and select 'Resources' from the toolbar on your page. This will allow you to download your QR code for digital and printable use.
