What do I have to do for my Brilliant Breakfast?

add remove

Once you've decided where you’re going to host your breakfast and invited your guests, you just need to decide what your breakfast menu will be. Whether you're hosting at home or work, you can make breakfast as simple or as elaborate as you wish - from toast and a cup of tea to croissants and pastries from your local bakery, anything goes! Some hosts even work with local cafes to host their Brilliant Breakfast, particularly if there are lots of guests attending.  

For any guests that you invite and are unable to make it on the day, it’s worth sharing your online page with them as they may still want to support you by donating.  

Will I receive a pack?

add remove
You won’t receive anything in the post from us but there will be lots of materials that you can print yourself such as invites, posters, bunting and food flags. You can access these on the 'fundraise' page.

Can I fundraise using another online provider?

We know that you may have to use another platform due to your workplace policy or to gain match-funding. If that’s the case, just let us know by emailing changeagirlslife@kingstrust.org.uk. 

Why are my donations not showing?

There is a short delay in donations showing on your fundraising page. Make sure your supporters are donating directly to your fundraising page, and not to the overall Change a Girl's Life campaign. If donations aren’t showing within 24 hours, please let us know by emailing changeagirlslife@kingstrust.org.uk

Gift Aid is a simple scheme that allows charities to recover the tax already paid on donations made in the last four years at no extra cost to you. By reclaiming tax from Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC), Gift Aid is a great way for you to help The King’s Trust maximise the value of its donations. That means that every £1 you donate could be worth an extra 25 pence to us.
