Raise Money

• Take your sponsorship form everywhere and urge your walkers to do the same.
• Make sure the first sponsor is a generous one as it'll then encourage others to do the same!
• For easy online fundraising set up a page with Justgiving or Virgin Money Giving. You can then e-mail the link to people you might not see all the time so they can sponsor you too!
• You could ask everyone to make a donation to come on the walk instead of (or as well as!) getting sponsored, just as Wenda Roberts does on her walks.
• Arrange a collection on the day (with permission from the landowner and/or local authority first!)
• Organise refreshments on the day. Ask friends to help bake cakes, prepare sandwiches or drinks to sell. You could even contact local bakers, delis or supermarkets to see if they would be happy to provide refreshments for you!
• Arrange a post-walk meal at a local pub – ask the landlord to provide a discount on food and help raise money at the same time, just as Kerry Rubins does on her walk.
• Ask local businesses to donate a prize to the top fundraiser or match whatever money you raise.
