This article covers what to do if you want to follow the progress of a particular fundraising page.
givestar allows you to get closer to the causes you care about. This includes our follow feature, which helps keep you connected to your favourite charities and other individuals.
On the givestar app, users are able to follow other accounts - either individuals (e.g. friends, colleagues, family and famous fundraisers), or charities. It is not possible to follow a fundraising page specifically, however, you can get the same effect by following individuals and charity accounts.
Following users on your web account is coming soon.
What happens when I follow either an individual or a charity account?
- The name of the individual or charity is added to your 'Following' list in your Discover feed. Your Discover feed is located on the left of your menu bar at the bottom of your app screen. You can use this list to quickly navigate to their profile page.
- Activity from the accounts you follow will be prioritised by givestar so they appear more regularly in your Discover Feed and Notification centre (coming soon).

Either:
- On the Fundraising page in the app, tap on the 'person' icon next to the 'Share button'
- The icon will change from a + to a ✓
Or:
- Press the 'Follow' button on their Profile page

How do I unfollow?
