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.
However, in order to support such a large group and continue to provide the world class service you’ve come to expect, the JustGiving team has had to double in size since we moved in and we’ve run out of space. There’s now more than 50 of us with even more new starters on the horizon.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown called it “the Nobel Prize of the charity world” and looking at the list of past winners, including Jamie Oliver, Bob Geldof and 2008 winner Kevin Jenkins (pictured centre), the founder of JustGiving member charity Community Links, it’s easy to see why.

We’re happy to announce that the problem we had with the site being unable to accept donations since the early hours of this morning has now been fixed (your sponsors have been able to make donations since 1:00 PM this afternoon, but we wanted to run a few more tests before making an official annoucement).
Thanks for your patience and apologies for any incovenience you may have experienced.

Last night we made some updates to JustGiving’s payment processes. Unfortunately this has resulted in the site temporarily being unable to accept donations. This problem started at midnight last night (00:00 AM, Wednesday 10th February) and our engineers have been working overnight to resolve the issue.
In the meantime you can use the “remind me to donate later” button on the left hand side of each fundraising page to remind you to donate again later.
We’ll let you know as soon as the site’s back up and running.
