Win a place for your running buddy
Training for a marathon can be tough. Going it alone is even harder. So we’re giving all of our fundraisers a chance to win a place for their running buddy.
Take on your Virgin Money London Marathon journey together. Run further. Run faster. Raise more. And make long runs more fun. With your running buddy by your side, there’s no stopping you. And we can make it happen for 25 lucky runners.
Create your page and raise £100 by 30 November and you’ll be automatically entered into the draw. Terms apply.

To thank you for all your hard work fundraising, we’ll be giving away marathon experiences you can’t get anywhere else.
Stay with the elite runners the night before at the Virgin Money London Marathon HQ, and start your race as a VIP on race day – no queues, more loos and a place to chill before your run. Give your loved ones the best seats in the house to watch you cross the finish line. And celebrate it all at our after party.

More for your £10
We believe only charities should profit from the hard work of fundraisers like you. It's why we set up Virgin Money Giving in the first place, as a not-for-profit alternative to challenge the status quo. A £10 donation has more impact with us than JustGiving. See the difference.

Got a question?
Here are some of the more commonly asked questions about fundraising with Virgin Money Giving.
You can raise money for up to 5 charities for each event you take part in. You can also decide how the money is split between the charities – unless the event is organised by a specific charity, when all proceeds will go to that charity.

You’ll be able to see your page on Virgin Money Giving for 3 months after the activity date. After 3 months the page will become inactive and stop showing up in searches. You can always re-open the page by signing in to your account and selecting ‘Re-open’ from the options.

Yes. Once you’ve set up your fundraising page, you’ll see a ‘Raised offline’ section under your fundraising total. Choose ‘Edit’ to add the total amount you’ve raised offline and select ‘Save’. The amount will now appear as part of your total. Just send the funds directly to your charity by cheque or BACS payment.

The Government allows charities to claim back tax on donations. This tax relief is called 'Gift Aid'.
Gift Aid is great because it means charities get extra money added to their donations at no extra cost to the donor. For every £1 donated, the charity currently receives £1.25 when you add Gift Aid. To make it easier we claim Gift Aid from HMRC on behalf of charities and pass over in full free of charge.
