    Just bought some tickets...I sent it as a gift so I pay the charge, not the raffle...all for a good cause! If you have a personal account, I believe you can send the money as a gift without any charge (to sender or receiver).

    I agree. A Just Giving page would also allow for Gift Aid to be added. x

    A Just Giving page would have been good. Might be worth Eliza's FIL's Wife to set one up for him (I'm sure it would be easier for her to raise money that way too as I think the only way it said in the newspaper was to send a cheque to the paper, email or phone him). I can't do it on their behave so the quickest thing for me to do was the paypal route. Most people have sent the money in as a gift so charges aren't on most of the donations.

    Although I'm not sure if you can use JustGiving page for things like Raffles.. Pretty sure it's meant to just be for donations, not buying something x
