Not strictly Charity related, but if you’re a member of a local sports club, I thought this, from our Charities blog, might be of interest.
JustGiving have teamed up with Sport England and the CCPR to bring our service to Community Amateur Sports Clubs, also known as CASCs for free! We’re really excited about helping CASCs raise money online, and we are hoping it will generate millions of pounds for grass roots sports organisations…

The current JG Towers - AKA 6-7 St Cross Street, London, EC1N 8UA - has served us well. In our two and three quarter year residency here we’ve seen our community grow to over 10 million users, including nearly 1.3 million fundraisers and over 8,000 charities.

By the time we could bring the camera to bear, the JustGiving team had already descended upon the beautiful stacks of homemade pancakes and this was all that was left.
What is it about pancakes and fundraising that makes them go together so well? Maybe it’s the comical sight of someone running in fancy dress and tossing a pancake at the same time, or maybe it’s just that everyone loves pancakes. Whatever the case, it’s good to see so many of you taking up your frying pans again this year…
