Justgiving.com is a website for charities and fundraisers to enable them to accept online donations and publish their fundraising efforts online. *Layout and navigation* The website is very simply laid out. The homepage contains a changing array of people's photos and the amount they have raised through justgiving.

I've just written a review on marathons and it made me think about Just Giving. My brother recommended the site when I ran my first marathon and was collecting sponsorship.

Justgiving is a site which lets you create a page about your fundraising efforts and your friends and family can donate to you by it, it has a running total and also your target. Justgiving is very good in many ways, I think its certainly changed the way we donate and encourages more donations, especially in this digital day and age, if someone who is on a forum your on is doing a sponsored event, would you be more likely to donate with just a few clicks or to find your old cheque book and put one in the post?
