The rules for using Ways2Raise safely.
These terms explain the rules for using the Ways2Raise website and account areas. They should be read with our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and safeguarding information.
Ways2Raise operates this service under the name Ways2Raise. Our data-protection contact address is Ways2Raise, Riverview Cottage, Main Road, Tolpuddle, Dorchester, DT2 7EW, or hi@ways2raise.co.uk. We are preparing the formal operating structure for full public account launch and will publish final registration details when confirmed.
Ways2Raise is designed for UK young people aged 13–15 alongside a parent or guardian. A family account must be registered using the parent or guardian’s email address. We do not ask a young person to give us a private personal email address or surname in normal registration. A parent or guardian may instead set up a separate generic fundraising email that they share with the young person for contact with supporters and businesses.
Parents and guardians are responsible for keeping account access private, using the Parent Lounge PIN carefully and reviewing any information submitted for public publication.
A young person can prepare a fundraising webpage, but a parent or guardian must approve it in Parent Lounge before it becomes public. Public pages use a first name only and a permanent unique page number. Do not include a surname, address, school, personal contact details, bank/payment details, passwords or anything that could identify or locate a young person unnecessarily.
We may prevent or remove content that is unsafe, unlawful, misleading, harmful, inappropriate for a young person, or breaches these terms.
Parent Lounge is for the parent or guardian. It controls parent-managed external links, webpage approvals, optional Trip Team contact sharing, any available AI controls and family-account deletion. A Trip Leader may see only the limited details a parent or guardian has specifically agreed to share for a named Trip Team. Partner-company staff do not receive a platform login to browse family data.
Ways2Raise is an advice, learning and resource platform. We do not receive, hold, manage, transfer or control money raised by young people, and we do not take a percentage of their fundraising. We do not currently process fundraising payments. A family is responsible for any third-party fundraising, payment or shopping account it chooses to use.
Family accounts are free. A parent or guardian can download the family money record and permanently delete the family account from Parent Lounge after a clear irreversible confirmation. We may close an account where necessary to protect users, comply with the law or enforce these terms.
If Alex is made available, it is a bounded fundraising and enterprise learning tool—not a friend, counsellor, emergency service or replacement for trusted adults. It must be used only within its stated rules. For an immediate risk of harm or emergency, contact the appropriate emergency or safeguarding service, not Ways2Raise.
Ways2Raise may link to external services and may use clearly labelled affiliate links. A purchase or account with an external provider is between the family and that provider, under its own terms and privacy information. We are not responsible for external websites or services.
Ways2Raise content, including guides, templates and site materials, belongs to Ways2Raise or its licensors. You may use it for your own fundraising journey but may not copy, resell or redistribute it commercially without written permission.
We may update these terms when the service or legal requirements change. Material changes will be clearly notified. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
