Always Carry Your Sponsor Form
You never know who you might meet unexpectedly!
Work At It
Most people give money to charity but few go out of their way to do so. The more you ask the more money you will raise.
Target
Tell people that your aim is to raise £500. This is an impressive sum and people will be motivated by your determination to achieve it.
Franchise
Give sponsor forms to friends and family and ask them to approach people for you. Photocopy your form or ask us for more.
Psychology
Make sure that you get your top sponsor first. By having your most generous sponsor at the top of the form others will follow suit and possibly give you more than they would have otherwise.
Companies
Send letters to local companies to sponsor you for a minimum of £50. Does your employer operate a matched funding scheme? If not, ask whether they would consider matching whatever you raise. This could lead to some good publicity for you and them…
Media
Write to your local paper asking them to do a piece about your fundraising efforts and to encourage their readers to sponsor you.
Smile
Be happy when raising your sponsor money. NEVER feel guilty about asking people, they can afford it or you would not ask. You are doing something immensely worthwhile so remember to feel good about it.
