Please read on for some key pointers to help you plan and make your fundraising as effective as possible:

Plan

Set a date. Check your diary and make sure you give yourself plenty of time to organise everything.
Set yourself a target of how much you’d like to raise – make it challenging but achievable – you can always raise it if you beat it!
Get in touch with the fundraising team for your fundraising pack and other resources, including a free charity t shirt or running vest and sponsor form.

Fundraising

Set up an online fundraising page to make it really easy for your supporters to donate virtually. You can set up a page by visiting one of the following links:

Whether you’re fundraising online or offline, don’t forget to encourage friends and family to Gift Aid their donation if they are a UK taxpayer, it doesn’t cost them any extra. Find out more about Gift Aid here.

Posters – download our poster to promote your event.
Local press – we can send you a template press release for your local paper or radio station.
