Collecting Sponsorship 
Last year over £80,000 was raised for St Luke’s Hospice from the Midnight Walk. This was an amazing total and every penny went towards funding the vital work the Hospice carries out.
The money raised by each walker really does make a difference!
- £40 could help relieve symptoms including pain, breathlessness, nausea and anxiety by paying for the cost of a complementary therapy session
- £60 could could help patients access high quality hospice care in the familiar surroundings of their own home by paying for a home visit from one of our nurses, doctors or social workers
- £140 will pay for drugs for a day
- £500 could help run a study day to educate our local GPs, district nurses or others in the management of advanced symptom control and so spread our work further afield
There are two main ways to collect sponsorship: Online or with a Sponsorship Form.
To create an online sponsorship form with Justgiving.com click here and follow the instructions. Once you have set up your page and decided on a URL, ie www.justgiving.com/
sarahsmidnightwalk you can tell all your friends and family to simply sponsor you at this address. Justgiving is easy to use and forwards all the donations on to St Luke’s so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
If you would like to raise sponsorship the old fashioned way you can download a Sponsorship Form here.
Simply print out the form and ask people to fill in their details. You can either collect the money then and there, or after you have completed the walk, although this can mean a lot of chasing after the event! Make sure that if your sponsors are taxpayers they tick the box and include their full address and post code so that we can make their donations worth 25% more to us through Gift Aid!
Raising money can be tough. Take your sponsorship form or justgiving address everywhere you go! Whether it’s to family parties, school or work, youth clubs, or the gym, make sure everyone knows you are walking!
