So who raised what in 2011?

The bar chart shows all the charities that had fundraisers in MM2011, along with how much money went through our fundraising system. The charities with the ***** are our six Charity Partners. Immediately you can see the benefit accruing from being publicised by the Meadows Marathon (compare 4square to Shelter, or Breakthrough to Cancer Research UK).

Another thing you should take away from this graph is the size of the charities taking part, many of which turn over less than 25k per annum. For small charities, raising £1500 in one event is a significant chunk of their annual turnover.

Finally, 12 of the top 20 fundraisers were student charities, with no permanent staff or meaningful resources for publicity. Consider what your charity can achieve with just a brief mention in a newsletter, or an email to your supporters.

It takes such little effort to take part (£15!) and the benefits can be enormous. Please get in touch, and help us help you.
