WELCOME TO YOUR SPORT RELIEF FUNDRAISING KIT

Hello you wonderful fundraiser,

I’m chuffed to bits that you’re fundraising for Sport Relief. You’re the kind of superstar fundraiser who makes all the work that Sport Relief does possible. Thank you.

Whatever you do, be it a sponsored skip-athon or a gruelling seven-day cycle, swim and run from Edinburgh to London (I still don’t know how they persuaded me to do that!), you’ll be helping vulnerable people here at home and around the world. In fact, 50% of the money you raise goes to international projects and 50% toprojects doing amazing work here in the UK.

So enough from me, it’s time to take a peek in your Fundraising Kit. It’s full of ideas, handy money raising tips and some cracking posters. There’s also a sponsorship form and a paying in form to pay in your brilliant fundraising cash.

You’ll also find a thank you from 13-year-old Rebecca. She looks after her mum, Lisa, who uses a wheelchair. Raising just £10 could provide a young carer in the UK with a fun activity day, giving them a much-needed break from their huge responsibilities at home. Just imagine what £150 from a bake sale or an exercise bike-athon could do!

So have fun and good luck. I know you’re going to do me and Rebecca proud.

My name is Rebecca and I am 13 years old. I call

my mum twice a day from school to remind her to take her medicine. She uses

a wheelchair so I also help with housework. I am writing to let you know that the money

you raise for Sport Relief helps people like me because I can now go to a young carers’ group

every month. I love going to the group. It’s a break from helping at home and it makes my mum happy that I can meet my friends and

have time for myself.

Thank you, from me and my mum.Rebecca

SEVEN SUPER FUNDRAISING

TIPS

1. Set a fundraising target so you have something to beat and people know what you’re trying to achieve.

2. Ask your most generous family members and friends for sponsorship first; others will follow.

3. Do a little bit extra to raise cash – dress up for your activity, or sell cakes.

4. Use the sweepstake poster in this kit to raise an easy £30. It will be better to print this at A3 size.

5. Shout about your efforts on social media – it’ll help you raise more.

6. Ask your workplace or your boss if they will match your fundraising. It will double your total!

7. Carry a sponsorship form everywhere you go and make sure people tick the Gift Aid box.

PROUD TO HELPThe money you raise this Sport Relief will help people living incredibly tough lives, both here at home in the UK and across the world’s poorest communities. On their behalf, thank you.

HELPING AROUND THE WORLDHELPING IN THE UK

£35 £250£35 could provide an hour’s care for an older person with dementia in their home, providing them and their carer (like Priscilla) with much needed support at a difficult time.

£250 could provide literacy classes for 20 children who used to work in the gold mines of Ghana, giving them the chance to go to school and work towards a brighter future.

Priscilla was the sole carer of her husband Des, who was diagnosed with dementia in 2013. His condition deteriorated rapidly and by the early part of 2015, Priscilla didn’t want to leave him in the house alone.

An ordained minister, Priscilla struggled to juggle the demands of her job and caring for her husband on her own. Luckily, she discovered Heart of Kent Hospice’s End of Life Care, which uses Sport Relief money to provide specialist dementia support and advice.

Cousins Felicia, 10 and Helen, 12, risk their lives every day toiling in Ghana’s informal, hazardous gold mines to earn enough money to eat. The pair, who have no adults to care for them, live together and dream of becoming nurses.

Thanks to help from VSO, which is using money raised by Sport Relief to help working children in Northern Ghana to access schooling, the girls have the chance to turn their dream into a reality.

School is very important to me. My biggest hope for the future is that I can become a nurse so I can

help people who become sick.

The nurse, Tracy, was amazing. Priscilla knew who to get in touch with and who could help, like people

who could sit with Des if I needed to go out.

WHAT’S JO’S FAVOURITE FORM OF EXERCISE?

HOW TO PLAY THE SWEEPSTAKEThe Sport Relief sweepstake is a quick and easy way to raise £30.

For a suggested £2 per guess, simply get everyone to write their name underneath their chosen exercise. The winner keeps half the cash and the rest goes to Sport Relief to help change lives.

Go to sportrelief.com/winner after 3pm on Friday 18th March to see who the winner is.

£30 could build a toilet for a family living in an Ethiopian slum, helping to stop the spread of diseases and improving their health and well-being.

Pay it in: The money you raise for Sport Relief can be paid in online at sportrelief.com/payin or sent in by cheque, made payable to ‘Sport Relief 2016 (Sweepstake)’, to Sport Relief 2016, EY, PO Box 51543, London SE1 2UG.To get more sweepstake posters, go to sportrelief.com/tools

The Legal Bit: 1. This sweepstake is an exempt lottery under the Gambling Act 2005 and is promoted by: _____________________________________________________________________________________ (please write the name and address of the promoter here, i.e. the person responsible for collecting the money). 2. This poster is for use in Great Britain only. 3. The promoter and the entrants must be 18 or over. 4. Your sweepstake must be conducted as a workplace or resident’s lottery. This means that people are only eligible to enter if they either work in the same premises as the promoter, or live in the same premises as the promoter. 5. You may only display this poster or advertise the sweepstake on the relevant premises (see before). 6. The rights of any entrant are not transferable to any other person (and any attempt to transfer them will be treated as ineffective). 7. Each entrant agrees that, if they win, the promoter will donate half the money collected to Sport Relief on behalf of the winner. 8. The promoter is responsible for ensuring the sweepstake is run properly – Sport Relief is not a promoter and does not accept any responsibility for your sweepstake.
