AFiverADay
Celebrating good deeds and just causes with a fiver a day.
COVID-19
17th March 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately led to many fundraising events being postponed or cancelled.
This has made it increasingly difficult to know whether any given challenge will still go ahead.
So reluctantly AFiverADay is paused until the situation stabilises.
The individuals, groups, and causes that have featured over the last 3 years demonstrate that compassion is equally infectious, and people can conquer the greatest of challenges, so I'm sure this interruption won't last for too long.
Hello
There's a good chance you've arrived here because an unexpected donation appeared on your fundraising page, and you're wondering what it's all about.
Well it's pretty simple - each day I donate £5 to someone who's doing something amazing for a good cause.
So if I've made a donation on your page, think of it as a high fiver to help you get a little closer to your fundraising target (or if you've already reached it, to smash it a bit more!)
How I found you
Most of the time your fundraising page probably appeared in search results when I was looking for someone just about to take on an interesting challenge, or for a particular cause I wanted to support that day.
Sometimes I discover pages because they've been shared on social media, but most of the time it's unlikely we know each other.
Why I'm doing this
The idea originally came about in February 2017, around the time of Random Act of Kindness Day. Instead of a single day I set myself the challenge of trying to make a £5 donation every day for a month.
It turns out that finding an interesting story every day isn't that difficult or time consuming, so it's been going every day since
In a world that often seems full of doom and gloom, it's a reminder that there are lots of people doing things every day to help improve the lives of others they don't know.
