Online giving platform Localgiving.com is offering £5,000 in prizes for charities
to the 20 people that attract the most donors on its site during June.

Those who take part will be ranked on a #LocalHero Leaderboard according to the 
number of unique donors who sponsor them throughout the month. The fundraiser with
the most donors contributing to their page by the end of the month will win £1,000
for their chosen charity.

Localgiving.com is running its #LocalHero campaign to highlight the value of the
many individuals who fundraise for local charities.
