How to Help - Sponsored Fundraising

Run for us - or do anything sponsored

Most people would agree that collecting sponsorship moneyused to be a real chore, but nowadays, with the internet, it has never been easier.

At the click of a button at www.justgiving.com you can email your sponsorship form to your friends and contacts who then give on-line directly to us - no more tedious pledge chasing and cash handling!

We have a number of places in the British 10K London Run which takes place in July every year. Contact us to register and get your running pack - or think about taking part in one of the many events which take place in the South East each year.

Your donation will make a difference. Fundraising is fun and there are many ways in which you can help us. We will support you and offer advice. Come and visit us and see the high quality of care we offer to people with disabilities, you will then see how your donation really will help. We can provide you with banners, balloons, stickers, sponsor forms and leaflets.

Examples of local fundraising:

• Don Calveley has organised 10 successful annual Golf Days.
• Ken and Debbie Chappell hold music quizzes in all areeas - call us for further information
• Sylvia Boyne sells second hand teddies.
• The Dog and Duck Inn and Leisure Parks at Plucks Gutter held a race night and fun day.

We will be pleased to hear from you, if your club or society would like to know more about us and we will be pleased to come out and give a talk.
