Don't Panic - Your Donations Are Safe!
On 10th March 2010, Bmycharity announced that they are withdrawing their services from the online fundraising market. All donations that have already been processed by Bmycharity are secure and will be automatically transferred to Help for Heroes as normal.
Donation and fundraising pages will remain visible until 31st March 2010, but will only be able to take donations until 19th March 2010. All donations processed until 19th March will be automatically transferred to Help for Heroes and there will be no further action to take regarding these donations. After the end of 19th March, NO donations will be processed through any Bmycharity fundraising pages.
All Help for Heroes supporters who currently have online fundraising pages set up via Bmycharity should transfer their pages to either Justgiving or Virgin Money Giving, at the earliest convenience and before the 19th March.
Setting Up A New Fundraising Page
1. Visit your bmycharity page and take note of your grand total (the sum of your online and offline fundraising totals).
2. Set up a Justgiving or Virgin Money Giving fundraising account in the normal way.
3. Enter your Bmycharity total in the offline fundraising total section of your new account.
4. You will now be given a new online fundraising address, which your sponsors can use to donate.
5. You should then contact your sponsors and let them know your new fundraising address.

Unfortunately the withdrawal of Bmycharity from the online fundraising market is beyond our control, so please avoid ringing our offices if you have any questions. If you do need any more information about this matter, please contact Bmycharity by visiting www.bmycharity.com.
Whichever way you choose to carry on fundraising, whether it's through Justgiving, Virgin Money Giving or other offline methods, we would just like to say a HUGE thank you for your incredible generosity, and good luck with your planned event!
Happy fundraising!
