How Can You Help?
HOLDING A SPONSORED EVENT
Running a Marathon, Climbing a mountain, or simply organising a sponsored skip at school are just a few of the sponsored events people organise in aid of the DSAA.
Here are some of our valuable ‘Hints and Tips’ ……...
Firstly, make sure you contact us and ask for a Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Sponsorship Form to be sent to you.
Try and get as many sponsors as you possible can.
Start your sponsor form off with the most generous sponsor! (If the first person gives you £5 or £10 then this sets a trend for others to follow.
Take the sponsorship form with you wherever you go – you never know you are going to bump into!
DON’T FORGET TO GIFT AID IT! – Any UK taxpayer can tick the gift aid box on the sponsorship form. This allows the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated.
Try to collect the pledge straight away as some people can forget they owe you money.
Raise money online! – Why not set-up your very own fundraising page. It’s easy, fast and very secure! Visit www.justgiving.com or call us for further information.
Match-giving – Some employers / companies are able to boost contributions by matching any funds raised by employees. Why not check with your manager if your employer will do this.
Once your experience is over – tell everyone about it, especially us!
Remember to return your sponsorship form to us. (Even if it’s a photocopy). This will enable our office to check it and claim any Gift Aid back.
