Thank you for your interest in Miles for Mental Health, fundraising to help doctors struggling with mental health challenges. We’ve included some FAQs below to help get you started.
How do I create a Justgiving Page?
- Create a justgiving fundraising page by creating an account on Justgiving and clicking “start fundraising”
- You will get the question: “What are you raising money for?”- click “A charity”
- Type “RMBF” in the cause search bar- Royal Medical Benevolent Fund will come up top of the list- click “select”
- Choose the type of fundraising you’re planning, and add the name of the event
- Under the question: “Are you planning to ask for donations to your JustGiving page in return for goods, services or other benefits?” select which is relevant to you- e.g. if you are doing a bake sale or pizza night this would be a “yes” but if you are doing a challenge event where you will be sponsored, this would be “no”.
- Under the question: “Is your charity contributing to the cost of your fundraising?” select “No”
- Your page is created! Any funds you raise through your page will go straight to RMBF, and if anyone gift aids their donation, £0.25 for every £1 they donate will go to RMBF.
- Don’t forget to share your Justgiving page link with friends and family/on social media if you’d like to, so they can sponsor you. Photos or updates as you prepare for your fundraising are great to see too!
How do I send my money in without a Justgiving page?
Cheques- write “FREEPOST RMBF” on the envelope (you don’t need our address) and send via post for free. Please add your name and address. Please send an email [email protected] so we can look out for it.
Online donation- make sure you add to the comments box your name and address.
Bank transfer- please get in touch via [email protected] so we can give you the details and reference number.
Where does my money go?
£200 could help a doctor struggling with mental health challenges.
Once signing up, when do we receive an email from RMBF?
You will immediately receive an email from RMBF explaining how to get started fundraising. Please check your junk mail- if you still cannot see the email, please contact [email protected]
Over what period of time do I need to fundraise?
Although we run the challenge from January – March, we understand if you complete your challenge outside of this time. Please let us know the date you have in mind. Of course, the sooner you fundraise £200, the sooner you will receive your certificate and medal!
How can I show evidence that I am fundraising for RMBF?
We can provide you with a letter on headed paper, with your full name and stating that you are fundraising on behalf of RMBF- please just send us an email to [email protected] and we can arrange to post this to you.
