What does the new giving platform do?
Suggest a Charity
This new way of giving allows you to link your events and activities to any chosen Charity. You can choose from a library of Charities or suggest a completely new charity to support.
Request an Activity
Every Event needs an Activity behind it to drive your impact. Whether it's volunteering, goods collection or fundraising, this is where you tell us, how you wish to make an impact.
Events
This is your webpage to showcase your chosen charity, tell us a bit about why you are doing good for your chosen charity. Your teams can also keep up to date with your progress here.
Request a Challenge
Challenges are completely separate to Events and Activities. These are purely driven by you and your goals to make an impact. Choose to do a challenge on your own or with your team.
This platform is powered by Alaya. If you're wanting to play your part, but not sure what you want to do, or who you want to support, this new way of giving also allows you to get involved with challenges set by Next. Through this platform, you can discover what other people at Next are doing for charity and ways you can support them.
Keep track of all your contributions, activity involvement and challenges on your own personal dashboard. This is updated in real time and helps you look back on everything you've done for a charitable cause to date.
