> — Domino's Pizza UK (@Dominos_UK) [November 30, 2021](https://twitter.com/Dominos_UK/status/1465636728518037506?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

Dominos offered a win win situation last year – highlighting its 2 for 1 Tuesday
offer, and encouraging people to save some pennies by taking this up, and to then
donate some pennies through a microdonation for GivingTuesday for [Teenage Cancer Trust](https://www.teenagecancertrust.org/)
and Northern Ireland’s [Children’s Hospice](https://www.nihospice.org/childrens-hospice).
It’s been supporting #GivingTuesday in this way for a number of years, and in 2020
raised £6,500 on 30 November alone.

> — Florence Nightingale Hospice Charity 💙 (@fnhcofficial) [November 30, 2021](https://twitter.com/fnhcofficial/status/1465644012010971136?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)

[Florence Nightingale Hospice](https://www.fnhospice.org.uk/) gave a very specific
goal last year – if it could raise £1,487.50 on Facebook on #GivingTuesday, it would
be matched to raise £2,975 – enough to fund all of the Christmas sessions at its
day hospice. While it only raised £500 online the Hospice also received an offline
donation of £1,000, meaning it hit its target.

[Tiny Tickers](https://www.tinytickers.org/) also took this approach – seeking to
raise £1,452 so it could place 6 handheld pulse oximetry machines in UK hospitals,
which help to diagnose babies’ heart conditions in the womb. It did even better 
than that – raising enough money to buy 11.

[Creating Better Futures](https://creatingbetterfutures.org.uk/) took a different
approach, providing a list of 12 ways people could offer support – not all of them
financial. It also tried out Dare Bingo – inviting people to request dares for a
small donation over the three days following #GivingTuesday. Dares included ‘Wear
a ‘condiment’ face mask’ for 10 minutes for a £3 donation, a blindfolded make up
challenge for £4, post an embarrassing photo on Instagram for £3 (surely it should
have been more?!) and crack an egg on your forehead for £5. It raised £50.

[Sane](https://www.sane.org.uk/) let people know that support doesn’t need to be
financial, and that sharing its posts and helping to end the stigma associated with
mental illness were also valuable ways to get involved.

The [RSPCA](https://www.rspca.org.uk/) took a similar approach, directing people
to a [post on its site](https://www.rspca.org.uk/-/news-gift-of-love-this-giving-tuesday)
that listed the many ways people can help – from sharing social media posts and 
signing up to AmazonSmile, to payroll giving, and donating items to its charity 
shops.

Lots of charities, including [NHS Charities Together](https://nhscharitiestogether.co.uk/),
simply said thank you – in this case to everyone who had supported NHS charities
in any way.

[Hope Not Hate](https://hopenothate.org.uk/) was not alone in standing with the 
RNLI last year on #GivingTuesday after its Hastings crew had been blocked from going
out to sea by people angry at them helping refugees. The charity asked their followers
to support the lifeboat charity.

Celebrity support can be a great boost for charities at any time, including #GivingTuesday.
Last year saw Lady Gaga share her support for the [Born This Way Foundation](https://bornthisway.foundation/).
The Facebook fundraiser raised over £7,000.

Also with celebrity support, [Lepra](https://www.lepra.org.uk/) once again ran Giving
Shoesday – an auction of shoe donations from screen and sports stars including including
Jo Brand, Martin Clunes OBE, Dame Judi Dench, David Flatman, Colin Jackson CBE, 
Joanna Lumley OBE, Dame Helen Mirren, and Sir Tony Robinson. The charity also launched
a ‘£1 from you, we get two’ matched funding campaign and raised over £55,000.
