Top tips for fundraising

If you're planning to hold your own event to fundraise for us, here are some of our top tips to ensure your event is a success.

1. Get in touch with us. We can give you a fundraising pack and lots of useful information and advice to help you plan your event.
   
   We can also provide you with other fundraising materials, such as banners and collecting tins.
   
   
2. Set up a JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving page. This is an easy and hassle-free way for your friends and family to donate.
   
   
3. Using paper sponsorship forms? Please use our official sponsorship forms found in the fundraising pack.
   
   If you need extra forms, feel free to photocopy them or we can send you some more.
   
   
4. Tell everyone what you're doing.
   Put posters up in your local area, tell your family, get in touch with local press, Facebook your friends (post it on our Facebook page too) and spread the word.
   
   
5. Have fun, take lots of photos, be safe and make sure you enjoy yourself.
   
   
6. Once you have finished fundraising, don't forget to send back banners and collecting tins so we can reuse them.
   
   
7. Let us know how it went.
   We always love to see photos so please email them to us at events@parkinsons.org.uk - or add them to our photo group on Flickr
   
   
8. Relax and recover… then do it all again!
