Thank you for signing up to Walk For Freedom 2013! We are really excited to make this year’s Walk For Freedom even bigger and better than last year’s. Thank you for getting involved, all the money we raise will go directly towards supporting the work of City Hearts. In this pack you will find information about: • How to raise money and sponsorship, online and in person. • All about the arrangements for the day of the walk. • How to make sure the money you raise gets back to City Hearts. • How to stay updated and informed about our work after the event. FUNDRAISING If you want to raise money online, you can use the website: www.JustGiving.com . This is a wellknown website that allows people to sponsor you online using a credit or debit card. The money goes directly to City Hearts and allows Gift Aid to be claimed on donations. If you choose to use Just Giving, you need to set up your own page to fundraise for Hope City Enterprise. This is the organisation under which City Hearts is registered as a charity. You can raise money in person using the sponsorship forms that can be downloaded from our website. If supporters want to donate money using a credit or debit card, they also use our donation slips that can also be downloaded. The person sponsoring you needs to fill in their contact information and card details. Then the slips need to be returned to City Hearts. GIFT AID – FREE MONEY! The Government operates a scheme called Gift Aid that allows charities to claim tax back on every pound donated. This means City Hearts can receive an extra £2.50 for every £10 donated by UK tax payers! Sponsors need to provide their address for us to claim this. Please make extra efforts to get addresses from sponsors as this could make a huge difference to our final total!
