Answers to common BFV questions.

Clear answers about fundraising for Combat Stress and taking part in BFV events.

How do I set up a Combat Stress JustGiving page for BFV?

Each boxer should create their own fundraising page for Combat Stress:

  1. Open the Combat Stress JustGiving page and select Start fundraising.
  2. Log in to JustGiving, or create a free account if you do not have one.
  3. Choose the type of event or challenge. If your Boxing For Veterans event appears in the event search, select it. If it does not, choose Doing your own thing.
  4. Enter your fundraising details, target and page address. Put Boxing For Veterans and your event date (31 July or 30 October 2027) in the page title or story so people can recognise your BFV fundraiser.
  5. Select Create your page, then share the link with your supporters and the BFV team.

Check that your page says you are fundraising for Combat Stress before sharing it. For more help, see JustGiving's fundraising page guide.
