How do I set up a fundraising page for myself or team?
It’s simple! Visit the IKEA UK & Ireland Store page and select ‘View Store Page’ button for the store or distribution centre where you work. You'll see a button on the Store page to 'Join the team' which will take you to either create your own fundraising page or link an existing fundraising page.
How do I link an existing fundraising page to my Store page?
Visit the IKEA UK & Ireland Store page and select the ‘View Store Page’ button for the store or distribution centre you'd like to join. Once on the page, click the 'Join the team' button. You'll then be able to link your existing fundraising page to the Store page.
Can I make a donation directly to a Store without setting up a fundraising page?
Yes, you can donate to a store or distribution centre without setting up a fundraising page. Visit the IKEA UK & Ireland Store page and find the store or distribution centre you’d like to donate to. Select the ‘Donate’ button for your chosen store or centre and you’ll be prompted to make your donation directly.
How do I access my Store page’s QR Code to collect mobile donations?
We have generated dedicated QR Codes for each store and distribution centre. Visit the IKEA UK & Ireland Store page and find the store or distribution centre you’d like to donate to. Select the ‘Download QR Code’ button for your chosen store or centre and you’ll instantly receive your dedicated QR Code.
Can I edit a Store page?

Our store is located in Ireland, Northern Ireland or Wales, how do I ensure my fundraising goes straight to our local partner organisation?
All store pages have been linked directly through to their local partner organisation, so all of the funds will be automatically transferred directly these charities:
- IKEA stores located in England are linked to Shelter England
- IKEA stores located in Scotland are linked to Shelter Scotland
- The IKEA Cardiff page is linked to Shelter Cymru
- IKEA stores located in Ireland are linked to Focus Ireland
- The IKEA Belfast page is linked to Housing Rights
