Getting it right
Have fun, stay safe and raise as much money as possible
to help wetlands and wildlife.
Budget.
It is unlikely that your
activities will cost nothing. Even
for a coffee morning you will
probably need to buy tea, coffee,
milk and sugar, unless your local
shop donates it. We suggest
that for every £10 you spend you
should raise at least £30, and
don’t forget, the more creative
you are the less it will cost.
Get sponsored.
Set up a
JustGiving page, download
a sponsorship form from our
website or alternatively request
one to be sent through the post.
And don’t forget Gift Aid – it adds
25% to every £1 raised for free!
Use the WWT logo.
Please use
the WWT supporter logo (available
on the community fundraising
web page for you to use). If you
would like any more guidance on
using the WWT logo please do
not hesitate to contact us.
Keep it legal.
It is important that
you include our registered charity
number on any materials or press
releases for your event. Make it
clear that you don’t work for WWT
but are raising funds to help us.
We can provide official sponsor
forms and other pre-printed
materials. Please make sure your
fundraising activities are legal and
safe by undertaking your own risk
assessment, ensure you have
any relevant insurance and all
necessary licences and permits
have been obtained. But don’t
worry, we’re here to help. Just let
us know what you have planned
and we’ll give you all the advice
you need.
Send us your photos & videos.
We’d love to see what you’ve
been up to for WWT, just
make sure that you always ask
permission from parents if your
images include children.
