This year JustGiving launched its GivingTuesday portal, allowing fundraisers to raise money without transaction fees. The portal had already raised almost £25,000 ahead of Black Friday and GivingTuesday. Pascale Harvie, President and General Manager of JustGiving said: > “Over the last few years we’ve been incredibly proud of all the money raised for > great causes on GivingTuesday. >   > “As a founding partner of the initiative, we’re always looking for opportunities > to support our charity network with fundraising on the day. That’s why we’ve launched > our Giving Tuesday portal, making it easier for donors to give and charities to > fundraise.” --- ![](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/2022/11/entertainer.jpg) #### The Entertainer to match all in-store donations given through Pennies Customers from [The Entertainer](https://www.thetoyshop.com/) have raised over £ 1 million for children’s hospitals and other children’s charities in the last two years alone through its partnership with [Pennies](https://pennies.org.uk/). To celebrate, and to mark Giving Tuesday, The Entertainer will match fund the total of all monies raised by customers through Pennies donations across its stores today. More than 2 million individual micro-donations were made by customers at The Entertainer across 170 stores in the last two years of the pandemic, raising over £1 million. This new income has supported 289 charities, because it includes grants of £1,000 to small, localised charities nominated by stores – in an initiative called ‘Jack Gives Back’. --- ![](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/2022/11/Charity-Voucher.jpg) **READ MORE: [Giving Tuesday 2022](https://fundraising.co.uk/2022/09/12/monthly-focus-giving-tuesday-2022/)– UK Fundraising’s feature in September 2022, supported by Salesforce.org** #### Anglia Giving to donate £10,000 to charities Not-for-profit company, Anglia Giving, which runs Charity Vouchers, is giving out £10,000 to charities today, to coincide with Giving Tuesday.
