This sounds great, how do I sign up?
Registration is now closed.
How do I collect donations?
We’d recommend creating a Facebook fundraiser using this link. It’s easier to do this when you’re already logged into Facebook. 100% of the donations you raise on Facebook come to WWF. Please note, that your friends and family also need to be Facebook users to donate via Facebook. If you have friends and family who are not Facebook users, they can give you the money directly and you can donate to your own Facebook fundraiser on their behalf.
I’ve not fundraised on Facebook before. Are there lots of donation processing fees?
Facebook fundraisers are great as 100% of your donations automatically come to WWF. Set up your fundraiser here. Please note, your friends and family also need to be Facebook users to donate via Facebook. If you have friends and family who are not Facebook users, they can give you the money directly and you can donate to your own Facebook fundraiser on their behalf.
Is there an alternative to creating a Facebook fundraiser?
Yes! We’d recommend creating a JustGiving page instead here. You can also request a printable sponsorship form by emailing fundraising@wwf.org.uk.
I’m worried I won’t get any donations
Remember, you’ve got plenty of time to collect donations, so try not to worry. Here’re some of our top fundraising tips:
Donate to your own fundraiser. You’ll be setting the example for friends and family to follow.
See if your employer has a ‘matched donations’ policy. You could potentially double the amount your raise!
Keep your friends and family updated with your challenge. They’re more likely to donate once they see what you're doing.
Personalise your fundraiser blurb & photo. This makes a huge difference! Tell people what's motivated you to take on the challenge.
We’ll also be sharing lot of fundraising tips and ideas in the Facebook group.
How do we track our squats? Do I need to provide evidence that I’ve done them?
We’d recommend counting the squats as you go along and then ticking it off on your digital tracker. Your tracker is a great way to keep friends and family updated so they can see how hard you're pushing yourself! There is no need to send us proof that you’ve completed your squats. The digital tracker is available in the Facebook group.
Will you provide me with anything to help complete my challenge?
Yes! We’ve got lots of free digital resources for you, saved in the Facebook group. Click here to see them!
Why is there a Facebook group?
The Facebook group is a fantastic way to connect with other people doing the challenge. You can swap fundraising tips and share photos from your challenge. Plus, it’s a great way to support each other during the challenge.
Who is Stewart Carpenter on the Facebook group?
Stewart Carpenter is the Facebook profile for a few members of WWF staff. We created the profile for this challenge, so we can answer your questions as quickly as possible.
I have to self-isolate due to testing positive/ being notified by the NHS App. I’m so sad!
We're sorry to hear this and hope you're feeling OK. We totally understand if you need to postpone your challenge and it is no problem to do this. If you’re feeling well, perhaps you could try doing your squats at home.
