You currently need to be invited by a charity to use the Give A Little Champion App so if you would like to use the app for your fundraising, please contact your charity of choice and suggest they set up the Give A Little Champion App for you to use.

You’ve been invited to use the Give A Little Champion App - what next? 

1. Get Set Up Before Your Event


Download the Give A Little Champion donation app ahead of time and follow the simple instructions (check your email for a link). Setup takes just minutes, meaning you’ll be ready to accept tap and go donations as soon as your event begins. 

Check out the

we’ve created to get familiar with the app and see step by step set up.

2. Test It Out First


Make a small test donation to understand how the mobile giving app works. This will build your confidence and show you that the process is secure, quick, and user-friendly.

3. Charge Your Phone!


Since the app runs on your smartphone, keep your battery fully charged. If you’re planning to collect smartphone donations all day, bring a power bank to stay powered up.

4. Encourage Gift Aid Wherever Possible


If the charity you are fundraising for has enabled Gift Aid for the campaign you have been given access to, you can boost every donation by encouraging donors to add Gift Aid. With this tap to give feature, charities receive an extra 25% at no extra cost.

5. Tell Everyone About It


Promote your fundraising at every opportunity. You never know what connection someone may have to your cause, or how generous they may be! With the Give A Little Champion App on your phone, you can accept donations anytime — at events, on the go, or even during casual conversations.

Make sure you put your donors in control by holding your phone out to them and allowing them to select a donation value of their choice, rather than asking how much they would like to donate and tapping the amount yourself.

6. Share Your Story


People give when they connect with your cause. Briefly explain why you’re raising money and how their tap to pay donation will make a difference. This personal touch can inspire larger donations too!

7. Track Your Progress in the App


Use the in-app reports to see real-time donations. Watching your total grow is motivating, and sharing progress with friends and family can drive even more mobile donations.

8. Add Donations to Your Online Page


If you’re also using an online fundraising page from another platform, you can  often add donations raised elsewhere including via the Give A Little Champion App as “offline contributions.” This keeps all your totals together, showing the full impact of your efforts.

9. Use It Anywhere


You don’t need a big event or an organised fundraising drive to start collecting. With the Give A Little Champion App, you can raise funds during school runs, walks, meetups, or at work. Every quick tap counts.

10. Always Say Thank You

All Give A Little Champion App campaigns have a customised thank you screen designed by the charity so make sure your donors see that. Adding a heartfelt “thank you” from you additionally will mean a lot. Showing appreciation makes donors feel good about their tap to give donation and increases the chance they’ll donate again or share your cause.

Tagged social media shout outs to friends and family work really nicely, thanking those who've given, and at the same time reminding those who haven’t.
