From tee-off to the final hole, you’ll be making a huge difference for everyone affected by dementia.

Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society

We know that fundraising can be just as challenging as the event, but our expert team will be on hand to help. Your support pack will get you started, and we’ll be in regular contact with support, advice and ideas.

JustGiving

Kick-start your fundraising by setting up a JustGiving page. You can easily share your page with your friends, family and colleagues on social media and email, plus everything happens automatically.

The money you donate is sent to us, Gift Aid collected, and your sponsors thanked. Job done!

Frequently asked questions

Firstly, decide whether you would like to take on 36 or 72 holes of golf in one day. 

Next think about who you would like to invite to play with you. 

Once you’ve gathered your team, you can then start looking for the perfect course for your challenge. You may wish to consider travel for friends and family.

Then choose your date and book your spot!

Set up your fundraising page and start collecting sponsorship. We'll be there to support you with your fundraising along the way. We ask for you to choose an event date when you sign up, but please put an estimate if you're not sure, and just let us know by filling in our contact form.

Your fundraising pack will be emailed to you within 1 week of sign up. 

There’s no minimum fundraising target, but if you raise £300 you will receive an Alzheimer’s Society branded golf towel. The more you raise, the more you’ll be helping people affected by dementia.

If you’re collecting money on a JustGiving page, there’s nothing you need to do, your sponsorship comes directly to us.

If you have collected any cash, you can bank it and pay in using one of these options: 

  • Pay the donations directly onto your JustGiving page if you have one.
  • Pay in online using our secure payment page.
  • Send a cheque made payable to Alzheimer’s Society to Alzheimer’s Society, Suite 2, 1st Floor East Wing, Plumer House, Tailyour Road, Plymouth, PL6 5FS. Please include our paying in form so we have your event details.
  • Pay over the phone with a credit or debit card. Call our lovely Supporter Care Team on 0300 222 5808.
     

Please send in all donations within six weeks of your event.

Of course! We recommend that the organiser of the Ultimate Golf Challenge sets up a JustGiving page which your team can share.
