Sponsored Cycle Ride

If you enjoy cycling then this is a great way to raise money and people can sponsor you by the kilometre or for your completion of a set distance. If there are a number of you that want to do it then the more the merrier. It is always best to arrange your route first and to sign people in and out for safety reasons. It is also best to have a route that starts and finishes in the same place so people do not have a long cycle home!

One day Fast

For this event you need a lot of determination! Get your friends, family, etc, to sponsor you for not eating for the day (you can drink water). You can get them to sponsor you for every hour that you last or for you managing the day. A great sponsorship activity for all ages.

Top Tips for Sponsored Events...
  1. Ask us to provide you with information and materials about DHIVERSE that you can show to your family and friends. We also have T-shirts and balloons you can use.
  2. Why not put your sponsorship form in the local shop or write an article for the local newsletter.
  3. Many employers have schemes to match sponsorship money their employees raise. This could double your sponsorship total.
  4. Leave plenty of time to get sponsors.
  5. When you have completed your challenge, write to your sponsors with photographs. You can also write to the local paper.
  6. Make sure all the adult taxpayers sign up to give you gift aid: this will increase the value of their donation by 28%. And of course enjoy your sponsorship challenge.
