How valuable is an online giving site to a charity? Myeloma UK reports that in the
10 years since it joined JustGiving it has raised over £3 million through the site.

Given that, according to the [Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator](http://www.oscr.org.uk/charities/search-scottish-charity-register/charity-details?number=SC026116#results),
the charity raised £2.8 million in 2013 and £3.2 million 2012, this suggests that
giving via JustGiving has raised at least 10% of the charity’s income over the past
decade.

[Myeloma UK](http://www.myeloma.org.uk) Chief Executive Eric Low thanked the charity’s
supporters for breaking through the £3 million barrier, adding:
