How it works
WeGive is the simplest donation platform out there. There is no need to download us from the app store, simply visit wegive.click and you're ready to donate.
Scan, donate, share
We have created QR code to make giving easier than ever. Simply point your open camera at a WeGive QR code. You will be taken directly to the charity page with an amount inputted, where you can input your details (or simply sign into our account) and donate. Share this donation with your friends and family and pass on the QR code to others!
Browse, learn, donate
You can give to your favourite charity in three simple steps. Browse charities on our home page to find your chosen charity. You will see recommended charities, trending charities and have the ability to favourite charities. Then, donate to your selected charity by inputting a few key details. Hit donate and send money to your charity. You can then share your donation with others on social media and encourage your friends and family to donate with WeGive too!

Search for your charity- it's easy to add if you can't find it!
Use the search bar on our home page to search for the charity of your choice. WeGive is currently home to 18,000 charities and we are always adding more. If you cannot find your favourite charity on our app, simply ask us to add it. We aim to be THE donation platform for every UK charity, big or small.
For Charity
QR Code Fundraising
We’ve all become used to QR Codes over the last year. We offer this option if you have a physical location you want to use to raise funds.
Supporters scan with their phone cameras and are taken straight to your donation page. Rather than registering for ‘test & trace’ they can be supporting your cause - a great use of technology to give your charity a boost.
If you are interested, please contact us at: shaun@wegiveventures.com
FlashMob Fundraising
Fundraising couldn’t be simpler with WeGive. Just go to your charity page, make a donation (our research shows this acts as a trigger for others to do likewise) then share this Act of Giving with any and all of your social media and email contacts. Urge them to give right now with a short message saying what the funds are for.
The results can be surprising...and fast. Encourage your supporters to forward onto their friends and you can reach thousands of people in hours, particularly if someone with a stack of followers gets involved.
NB: WeGive uses Charities Trust to process your donations and to reclaim Gift Aid if eligible. Donors do not need to register with WeGive to donate although we do ask for some details to reclaim this Gift Aid. If donors register later, we will remember these donations as part of their tax record.
