Every penny you raise will help our dementia 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 smash your goal. Here are some ideas:
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.
Enthuse
Setting up an Enthuse 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 Enthuse 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 Enthuse, 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.
Charity place
Pay a registration fee, raise your fundraising target approximately 10 weeks prior to departure, and we’ll cover the cost of your event place!
Part-payment option
Pay part of the costs for your entry with a lower fundraising target, and we’ll pay the balance of the event place cost.
Full-payment option
You pay the full cost of the event place – then fundraise however you want, with no set target or deadline, and with no cost at all to the charity!
