It is a very new project. The church does have a justgiving web page but it is just for upkeep of the existing priory buildings which IMO is not appropriate. To setup something foir just giving you need either a charity number or a gift aid scheme - neither of which the church has for this project. Basically they only have a project name and a bank account.

I have done some web searching but I cannot find a website that will let me raise money for a specific project. Can anyone assist please?

Also, please note that I have deliberately put this thread in Business/Contracts as I dont want any stupid troll comments thanks.

Why don't they have a charity number? Can't it come under the remit of the existing charity? Most people like to donate knowing their donation will be gift aided, which can only happen if they give to a charity.

Brillo, sorry, Mr. Pad, a friend of mine uses this site. My brother has also used it in the past. AFAIK, you can use it for specific causes:
Online fundraising donations and ideas - JustGiving

It allows for tax relief to be added to donations too.

EDIT: sorry I should have read your post properly, I see you've looked at JustGiving

EDIT2: could you cobble up a web page yourself and add a PayPal "donate" button? Just a thought.
