a Fundraising Kit

WELCOME TO YOUR SPORT RELIEF
FUNDRAISING KIT
Hello you wonderful fundraiser,
I’m chuffed to bits that you’re fundraising for Sport Relief. You’re the
kind of superstar fundraiser who makes all the work that Sport Relief
does possible. Thank you.
Whatever you do, be it a sponsored skip-athon or a gruelling
seven-day cycle, swim and run from Edinburgh to London (I still
don’t know how they persuaded me to do that!), you’ll be helping
vulnerable people here at home and around the world. In fact, 50%
of the money you raise goes to international projects and 50% to
projects doing amazing work here in the UK.
So enough from me, it’s time to take a peek in your Fundraising
Kit. It’s full of ideas, handy money raising tips and some cracking
posters. There’s also a sponsorship form and a paying in form to
pay in your brilliant fundraising cash.
You’ll also find a thank you from 13-year-old Rebecca. She looks
after her mum, Lisa, who uses a wheelchair. Raising just £10 could
provide a young carer in the UK with a fun activity day, giving them
a much-needed break from their huge responsibilities at home.
Just imagine what £150 from a bake sale or an exercise bike-athon
could do!
So have fun and good luck. I know you’re going to do me and
Rebecca proud.

THANK YOU FOR RAISING MONEY FOR SPORT RELIEF
My name is Rebecca
and I am 13 years old. I call
my mum twice a day from school to
remind her to take her medicine. She uses
a wheelchair so I also help with housework.
I am writing to let you know that the money
you raise for Sport Relief helps people like me
because I can now go to a young carers’ group
every month. I love going to the group. It’s a
break from helping at home and it makes my
mum happy that I can meet my friends and
have time for myself.
£10 could provide a
young carer in the UK with
a fun activity day, giving
them a much-needed
break from their huge
responsibilities at home
Thank you, from me and my mum.

HELEN
PRISCILLA
The nurse, Tracy, was amazing. Priscilla knew who to
get in touch with and who could help, like people
who could sit with Des if I needed to go out.
School is very important to me. My biggest hope
for the future is that I can become a nurse so I can
help people who become sick.
FELICIA
Priscilla was the sole carer of her husband Des,
who was diagnosed with dementia in 2013. His
condition deteriorated rapidly and by the early
part of 2015, Priscilla didn’t want to leave him in
the house alone.
Cousins Felicia, 10 and Helen, 12, risk their lives
every day toiling in Ghana’s informal, hazardous
gold mines to earn enough money to eat. The
pair, who have no adults to care for them, live
together and dream of becoming nurses.
An ordained minister, Priscilla struggled to juggle
the demands of her job and caring for her
husband on her own. Luckily, she discovered Heart
of Kent Hospice’s End of Life Care, which uses
Sport Relief money to provide specialist dementia
support and advice.
Thanks to help from VSO, which is using money
raised by Sport Relief to help working children
in Northern Ghana to access schooling, the girls
have the chance to turn their dream into a reality.
£35
£35 could provide an
hour’s care for an older
person with dementia
in their home, providing
them and their carer (like
Priscilla) with much needed
support at a difficult time.
£250
£250 could provide literacy
classes for 20 children who
used to work in the gold
mines of Ghana, giving
them the chance to go to
school and work towards
a brighter future.

HOW TO PLAY THE SWEEPSTAKE
The Sport Relief sweepstake is a quick and easy way to raise £30.
For a suggested £2 per guess, simply get everyone to write their name underneath
their chosen exercise.
The winner keeps half the cash and the rest goes to Sport Relief to help change lives.
£30 could build a toilet for a family living in an Ethiopian slum, helping to stop the
spread of diseases and improving their health and well-being.
Pay it in: The money you raise for Sport Relief can be paid in online at sportrelief.com/
payin or sent in by cheque, made payable to ‘Sport Relief 2016 (Sweepstake)’, to
Sport Relief 2016, EY, PO Box 51543, London SE1 2UG.
To get more sweepstake posters, go to sportrelief.com/tools
Go to sportrelief.com/winner after 3pm on Friday 18th March to see who the winner is.
The Legal Bit: 1. This sweepstake is an exempt lottery under the Gambling Act 2005 and is promoted by: _____________________________________________________________________________________ (please write the name and address of the promoter here,
i.e. the person responsible for collecting the money). 2. This poster is for use in Great Britain only. 3. The promoter and the entrants must be 18 or over. 4. Your sweepstake must be conducted as a workplace or resident’s lottery. This means that
people are only eligible to enter if they either work in the same premises as the promoter, or live in the same premises as the promoter. 5. You may only display this poster or advertise the sweepstake on the relevant premises (see before). 6.
The rights of any entrant are not transferable to any other person (and any attempt to transfer them will be treated as ineffective). 7. Each entrant agrees that, if they win, the promoter will donate half the money collected to Sport Relief on behalf
of the winner. 8. The promoter is responsible for ensuring the sweepstake is run properly – Sport Relief is not a promoter and does not accept any responsibility for your sweepstake. Sport Relief is an initiative of Comic Relief, registered charity
326568 (England/Wales); SC039730 (Scotland). Photo credit: Ray Burmiston.
