YOUR HELP NEEDED
     Organising a Sponsored Event

What does it involve?

Sponsored events are a popular straightforward way of raising money. We can provide the sponsor form(s) and a fabulous starter pack. What you need to do is to decide on an event, get the sponsors, do the event and gather in the money. Remember to keep a detailed record of the people that have paid you.

Suggested sponsored events:

You can be sponsored for almost anything. You might try a sponsored walk, run, cycle ride, slim, crawl, bounce, parachute jump, swim, aerobics, spelling, silence, talking, cooking, cleaning, litter collection, dance , fast, number of goals or points scored in a sports match, read, write, sing, dance, dog walk, stop smoking, stop drinking, sitting in baked beans or giving up chocolate. More original or difficult events may get more sponsors.

Team or Individual?

You can do either. It would be better if you can persuade other people to take part, it may be more fun and, between you, you should raise more money. Some people may not want to take part, but may be willing to take a sponsor form to their school, family or workplace.

Other points to consider:

If you are under 16, please don't go door to door to obtain sponsorship without an adult. If you are doing the actual event in a public place, you may need permission - contact your local council for information.

Do I need anything else?

Some events need extra things like t-shirts for the mini marathon. You may want to give people a certficate when they complete the event or when they bring in the money. We can provide sponsor forms, certificates, and anything else you need. Just give us a call a week or so in advance and we'll be happy to help.
