The best way is to set up an online giving page, because this cuts down on the paperwork and the donation goes directly from the sponsor to the charity so you don't have to collect it after the event! It also makes it easier for us to claim the extra 25% extra Gift Aid from the Government.
We use two main websites which you can sign up to, Just Giving https://www.justgiving.com/ and Virgin Money https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/.
You can promote your run and our cause on social media, Facebook, Twitter and email to everyone you know.
