New online fundraising facility Springhill Hospice has teamed up with Everyday Hero, a specialist software provider to the not-for-profit sector, to offer free online webpages to anybody who wishes to raise funds directly online. Their software is designed to make fundraising easier, cost efficient and a more enjoyable experience for fundraisers, not-for-profit organisations and donors. Everyday Hero provides software for over 800 not-for-profit organisations around the world and has helped over 220,000 donors and fundraisers raise money via the Internet. In just minutes you can build your own page to promote the event you are participating in, then approach your friends, family and colleagues by simply emailing them the unique link to your page.

There are also templates for users to create pages in order to raise funds in lieu of birthday gifts, wedding presents, anniversary celebrations and for building In- Memoriam pages to remember loved ones. Creating your fundraising page could not be easier - to get started just click here. Our Royal Correspondent!
