I looked at this some time ago and couldn't find a way to monitor it effectively. Either I got a custom plug-in written (cost £800) or rely on the "honesty box" method.

Did you click on the banner at the top of this page? It works fine for me.

New direct link to the fundraising page:

The current one has officially finished although the page will still accept donations. I'll give it a rest for a while before starting another, the current one has been a bit of a disappointment.
...
This one ends on 21 March and then there will be another with 5 new charities. This time I'll go for lesser-known charities.

Following a flurry of activity the fund now stands at just over 4K and a smidgeon under 5K with Gift aid. One remarkable donation of £200 (I think I know who yoiu are ;-) ) and a couple of £50. ...
No donations for almost 48 hours now :-(.
Eddie
After just 2 weeks I think it's got off to a cracking start with 152 contributions totalling £3,493.50 (£4,237.50 taking Gift Aid into account). With another 41 days to go before it closes I'm...
I propose starting another fundraising page when this one ends in 47 days and this is an excellent candidate for inclusion.
Eddie
I don't agree with trying to shame people into donating, although I do wish that more people would. I especially think that those who make regular use of Sales Corner should consider donating a few...
A splendid total from the 100 members who have donated so far but there's 3363 active forum members. Come on lads, count up your loose change you've been saving in a jar and give it to charity!...
I left a bit of code off when I moved the banner, it's working now. Thanks for mentioning it.
Eddie
Similar thing happened to me yesterday, I'll have to move the banner at the top of the forum.

Many thanks to everyone who donated early, it's a cracking start! I set the target at what some may feel as an ambitious level because with more than 3000 active forum members, that's only about £3...
The plan is to run this fundraiser until 31 March 2013 and then set up another one with 5 different charities.
Eddie
It's up and running now, please be generous :-)

A little patience please.

I hope you're all saving your change, it won't be long now.

It isn't on the list Dunk but I've emailed them and explained what we're doing.
Eddie
I've spoken with Virgin Giving and here's how it works.
Create an account and select up to 5 charities as beneficiaries.
Only charities registered with them can be selected.
You can enter the...
RBS will set up a charity account for no fees provided you are registered as a small charity and submit a written constitution, together with a list of officers. I really don't want to do that.
...
Thanks, I've followed this up and hope it will prove positive. I looked at Just Giving and thought their fees were higher than they should be.
Eddie
I know most of us on the forum contribute to our favourite charities but I'd like to raise enough money to make a significant difference to a few charities. Here's what I'm asking you to do:
