We have to pay for our places in the various events along with advertising packages to promote our places to the public. For some of the most popular races, this can be very expensive.

To ensure that we contribute as much of your money as possible towards research into kidney disease we, like other charities, have to set a minimum sponsorship target.

Those people who have been successful in securing their own place in an event have paid for that place themselves, and so it would be unfair to set them a target to cover costs which they have already paid for.

By signing up through Give Tap your online fundraising page is automatically set up for you.  You can personalise your page, add photos, talk about what you're doing and why, set a fundraising target and then send your page link to your friends, family and colleagues so that they can sponsor you easily and securely.

All money donated online is received directly into our bank account which means you do not have to spend time collecting in any money raised.

If you do not wish to use this page you can also set hat you set up your own using another online fundraising platform such as Enthuse or Just Giving and you can also collect donations offline.

Our policy like that of many other charities, is that Gift Aid is not included in sponsorship targets.

We have suggested that you aim to raise £350 as part of your fundraising.

We know that times are hard at the moment, and you might be feeling worried about fundraising, but we will be here to support you every step of the way. Every pound you can raise will go towards vital research to and really will make a difference to people living with kidney disease.  

Any questions about fundraising or the event, please contact [email protected] or 0300 303 1100 

Thank you for all of the hard work you've put into your fundraising, this will help us continue to fund research into kidney disease. Now all that's left to do is send it in.

If you have received one of our fundraising toolkits, you can complete the banking form found within the pack and enclose with your cheque/s.

Raffles can be a great way of raising some additional money for your challenge. However, there are some strict rules governing how they can be run.

The simplest way to hold a raffle within the rules is to hold it alongside another event; a pub quiz for example. You will need to sell the tickets during your event, and the raffle has to be drawn and prizes given out on the same night. If you do a raffle this way, you won't need a licence.

If you want to hold a raffle on its own, you will need a specific licence so please get in touch with: [email protected]

Yes absolutely, if there are two or more of you doing an event, then you can get together to raise your money. Just remember that sponsorship targets are per person.

If you are going to fundraise with a friend or as a team all we ask is that you let us know as soon as you can. Please contact: [email protected]
