1) Tell your story. On your fundraising page, say in a few lines why you're sleeping out. A personal reason gets more donations than a generic one.

2) Add a photo. A smiling photo of you, ideally in Chorley FC colours or holding your sleeping bag, makes your page feel real.

3) Set a target. Pages with a target raise more. Our suggested target is £150. That's just 10 people giving £15, or 5 people giving £30.

4) Get your first donation from someone close. Ask a partner, parent or best friend to donate first, and generously. Others tend to match the first amount they see.

5) Ask people directly. A personal message or a word in person works much better than one post to everyone.

6) Ask about match funding at work. Many employers will match what staff raise. Check with HR, and tell colleagues what you're doing. Businesses can also take part as a team with one shared page.

7) Post regular updates. Share our date graphics, your kit list and how close you are to your target. Every update reminds people to give.

8) Share on the night. Photos and short videos from the stands are your best fundraising moment, so post while it's happening.

9) Thank every donor. A quick thank-you, publicly or in a message, is good manners and encourages others to give.

10) Follow up afterwards. Many donations come in after the event. Post a "we did it" update with your total and the link for anyone who missed it.
