Where should the donate button link to?

This is up to you, but most partners have done one of the following:

1.    The donate button links to a page on your website that tells people the different ways they can donate, see Age UK Plymouth as an example.

2.    The donate button links to an external page that allows your supporter to make an online donation, see Age UK Exeter for an example.
