Why do I have to change the end date on my fundraiser to 15 January? 

• Facebook Fundraisers are automatically set to expire in 7 days so you need to change the end date so that it is still open beyond the length of your challenge. 

Do I have to be over 18 to join the challenge? 

• Yes, you have to be over 18 to set up a Facebook Fundraisers and join the Facebook Group.  However, if you are under 18 and want to take part get your parent or guardian to join the group and set up your fundraising page through JustGiving 

How do I record my squats? 

• You can keep track of our squats however you like, have a chat with other fundraisers in the Facebook Group and see how they’re recording theirs.  Or “click here” to download our squat tracking sheet. 

How do I get my free t-shirt 

• Click here to register for a t-shirt. NB: Please note t-shirts might take up to 10 days to arrive with the Christmas post. 

Can I start late or early? 

• Of course you can! Whenever suits you! 

What’s the best way to smash my fundraising target? 

• As soon as you set your fundraiser up it will automatically appear in your friend’s newsfeeds.  Then when you post an update it will appear in your friend’s feeds again.  The more you post, the more people will see it and the quicker you’ll reach your fundraising goal! 

How do I upload photos and videos to the Facebook group? 

• To share a photo or video on the group you can select “share” at the top of your timeline, timeline sharing will be the default so you will need to select the "1200 squats by Christmas" page from the dropdown menu. Then click the photo/video button to upload the video from your computer or phone, and you can add a description to the video at the top.   
• We absolutely love to hear how you are all getting on so please do share, share away in the group! 

How do my friends donate to my fundraiser? 

• There is a donate button on your Facebook fundraiser which is quick and easy for you friends to use. 

How much money do Facebook take from the donation? 

• NOTHING!  100% of all your fundraiser donations will come to Combat Stress!  Facebook charges 0% for fundraisers which is why it’s a great plaform for the 1200 Squats by Christmas Challange! 

How do people donate if they’re not on Facebook? 

• You can take their donation and make the donation for them on your fundraiser page yourself.  If they want to donate by cheque or other means drop the team an email at challenges@combatstress.org.uk 

Will I receive a medal? 

• We’re giving out free t-shirts rather than medals for this fundraising challenge, but there is a digital medal that you can download in the Facebook Group. 

Do I need to provide evidence to Combat Stress that I’ve completed all 1200 Squats? 

• No, we trust you!  You don’t need to send us evidence to prove you’ve completed the challenge.  We do recommend that you update your Facebook Fundraisers and post on your social media accounts where you are with the challenge to let friends and family know how you’re getting on!  We recommend sharing photos and videos of you doing your squats and please also share them with the group as we’d love to see as many of your pics and films as possible.

• We’d prefer it if you would raise money on Facebook for this challenge but it’s that doesn’t work for you then by all means set up a JustGiving page.
