Online tombolas with People's Fundraising

An engaging alternative to a traditional fundraising tombola

Tombolas and sweepstakes are familiar fundraising activities at school fairs, community events, charity days and seasonal campaigns.

People's Fundraising brings the experience online so supporters can take part through a dedicated page rather than relying only on a physical stall.

Depending on the activity, entries can be used for lucky-dip style fundraising, prize draws, instant-win formats or event-based outcomes.
