Sponsored events

From swimming to staying silent or losing weight to lifting weights, hundreds of people take part in sponsored events each year to raise funds for Alzheimer's Society. You can turn almost anything into a sponsored event, as long as it's a challenge.

The information below is a step by step guide to organising a successful sponsored fundraising event.

• Sporty challenges - sponsored walks, cycles and lots more suggestions for physically challenging sponsored events.

• Other Challenges - headshaves, sponsored silences and more.
  

• Boost your sponsorship - how to get the most out of your fundraising.

• Gift Aid - Turn every £1 donation into £1.28. Read our information on making your sponsorship eligible for gift aid.
  

• Collecting in your sponsorship - gathering pledges and donations can sometimes be harder work than the event itself. Read our tips on collecting in sponsorship after your event.

• Sending your fundraising to Alzheimer's Society - When all outstanding funds have been collected, return your sponsor forms to the Society with your fundraising and a completed copy of the donation form from your fundraising pack. If you do not have a fundraising pack yet please fill in our online form to request one.
