Make a Difference in Minutes: Fundraise for FPWR UK Through Facebook & Instagram
Supporting Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) research has never been easier. Facebook and Instagram now offer simple fundraising tools that anyone can use—no matter how big or small your goal. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or sharing something meaningful about PWS, these tools help you raise awareness and make an impact at the same time.
Why Use Facebook & Instagram Fundraisers?
Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram) handles all donations securely and sends them directly to FPWR UK. That means:
- The donation comes straight to us
- There are no fees for you
- They only take a minute or two to set up
- You don’t need to handle any payment details
They are perfect for:
🎉 Birthdays or celebrations
Ask for donations instead of gifts or cards.
📣 Awareness posts
Add a donate button when sharing news or facts about PWS.
🏃 Challenges & fundraising events
Use them to boost donations for your run, walk, skydive, or any activity supporting FPWR UK.
✨ Just because
Sometimes a simple “I’m supporting PWS research today” goes a long way.
