**New fundraising platform Wonderful.org, has launched its inaugural Wonderful Week:
a week focused on fundraising that will take run from the 2^(nd)-10th September 
to help individuals raise money for their favourite charities.**

[Wonderful.org](https://wonderful.org/)‘s [Wonderful Week](https://wonderfulweek.org/)
encourages people to sign up on the fundraising platform and create a page for their
own fundraising event, or join an existing event and fundraise for their chosen 
charity through that. Fundraisers and charities can sign up by clicking the ‘Add
My Charity’ button on the site.

Events on the site so far include [The Swan Cycle II](https://www.letsgovelo.co.uk/event/swan-cycle-ii-9th-september-2017)

Wonderful.org was launched earlier this year by businessman Kieron James, to help
increase the amount of money that charities receive through fundraising platforms.
It asks corporate sponsors to meet the 7% costs, rather than charities or fundraisers,
guaranteeing that 100% of sponsor donations, plus all Gift Aid, reaches the intended
recipients.

Footballing legend Phil Neville, Julie Neville and their two children will be leading
the challenge. The family has pledged to cover 100 miles through swimming, cycling
and running to raise money for The Good Life Orphanage.

Julie Neville said:

> “We are absolutely thrilled to be able to do something wonderful for The Good 
> Life Orphanage by taking part as a family in the inaugural Wonderful Week, keeping
> us fit and raising some much-needed funds.”

Phil Neville added:

> “We’d like to encourage others to join us in this fundraising initiative and do
> something wonderful for a charity close to their own hearts.”
