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

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]
