London to Brighton Cycle

When you cycle with Dementia UK, you’ll get:

• an exclusive Dementia UK cycling jersey
• training plans and support to get you event-ready
• support from a dedicated member of the Fundraising Team, from training to the finish line and beyond
• a fundraising guide, as well as fundraising advice, hints and tips
• a range of Dementia UK fundraising materials (collection buckets, posters, balloons etc) to make any events you hold look amazing

Every penny you raise will help our specialist Admiral Nurses provide a lifeline to more families facing dementia – and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Fundraising ideas

Organising fundraising activities alongside your main challenge will help you reach your goal. Here are some ideas:

• Host a quiz

• Arrange a raffle

• Organise a bake sale at home, at work or in your community

Your fundraising welcome pack

Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you a fundraising welcome pack that’s full of advice on how to meet – and beat – your target.

JustGiving

Setting up a JustGiving page is a great way to fundraise online. Share your link with family, friends, and colleagues, and watch the donations roll in.

You can use JustGiving to explain why you’re taking on your challenge for Dementia UK, keep track of how much you’ve raised, and even share your training progress using Strava so your supporters can see how well you’re doing. The more you update and share your page, the more donations you’ll receive.

Gift Aid

If your supporters are UK taxpayers and their donation is voluntary (not proceeds of a sale), we can claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated – at no extra cost to them. Make sure they fill in the Gift Aid form in your fundraising pack or tick the correct boxes if they’re donating online.

Sending in your donations

If you’re fundraising through JustGiving, the donations will automatically come to us. If you’ve got cash to pay in, you can do this online, by phone, by bank transfer or by post.

Pay in your donations

Book your place directly with the event organisers for just £55 per person.

There’s no minimum fundraising target – raise what you can!
