The festive season is here – a time for giving, sharing joy, and spreading hope. At FPWR UK, we’re inviting you to make this Christmas truly meaningful by joining our Visufund campaign. It’s a fun, creative, and impactful way to support vital research for Prader-Willi syndrome while sending warm wishes to the people you care about.
What is Visufund and How Does It Work?
Visufund is an interactive platform where you can buy a virtual present and display it on our festive page. Each gift represents your donation and your message of support. Here’s what you can do:
See your impact – Your message will appear on our Visufund page, creating a beautiful display of generosity and hope.
Choose your donation amount – Give what feels right for you.
Personalise your gift – Add a heartfelt message and even a photo.
Share your message – Send it directly to someone special or share it with friends and family.
Why Take Part?
Our Christmas page is more than just a donation page, it’s a way to send Christmas messages or messages of hope to someone special. Anyone can take part and share their messages to say Thank you, Merry Christmas or highlight someone they want to give a special shoutout to.
Also, you could use our page as a way to say Merry Christmas without sending traditional Christmas cards this year. Why not send a message that truly makes a difference? You can post your message and then share on your social media or via email to explain to family and friends that this year instead of cards you spreading joy and hope by donating to our page. Your donation isn’t just a gift—it’s a message of hope. It’s a way to say, “I care, and I’m helping to change lives.”
Every virtual gift helps fund research that brings us closer to treatments and a brighter future for those living with Prader-Willi syndrome.
What kind of messages could you leave?
The message section is very personal to you and why you are donating. Maybe you are donating to honour someone with PWS, maybe you have PWS and your message is to your family, it could be to your school to say thank you and merry Christmas, it could be to highlight someone with PWS or someone who cares for someone with PWS, or maybe you are spreading a message of hope this Christmas for the future of PWS.
Below are some examples of messages you could post or whatever message comes from you:
“Wishing you all a Merry Christmas filled with love and joy! Together, we’re giving hope to families affected by PWS. Love The Thompsons”
“This Christmas, let’s make a difference. Here’s to brighter futures and breakthroughs in research! From John and Rachel”
“In honour of Carl we’re supporting research that matters. Merry Christmas and lots of love!”
“Instead of cards, we’re sending hope. Thank you for being part of this journey with us.”
“Mum & Dad, I’m sending you a gift that helps fund research and hope. Thank you for all your support this year.”
“To everyone at Elm Tree Primary School. Thank you for everything you do for Kayla. This gift supports families like ours and brings us closer to answers. Happy Christmas!”
“To the best sister ever! Instead of a card, I’ve given a gift that brings hope to families like ours. Merry Christmas! Love Bobby”
”This gift is for you Sienna- a message of hope and love. We believe in a brighter future and are proud to support research in your name.”
