Fundraising Tips

Firstly we appreciate every single penny you are able to raise, and would like you to do what is easiest for you.
You may wish to consider:
1. Start getting your sponsorship a.s.a.p and asking someone each day; or alternatively get it done in 1 go. Either way ensure you have plenty of time to find your Sponsors.
2. Ask your sponsors to give you the money straight way and keep it safe. This saves having to collect it afterwards.
3. It can help to start your list with those you think most likely to be generous.
All money raised will be used for the benefit of persons with disability especially in Shropshire.
Please make cheques payable to Shropshire Disability Network and send to:

Hints and Tips
For SDN Walk and Roll 2011
1. Bring a bottle of water with you to avoid dehydration.
2. Bring snacks to sustain you throughout the walk and a picnic if you wish to.
3. Wear suitable shoes, walking boots or trainers.
4. Bring a waterproof
5. ENSURE THAT YOU REGISTER AT ALL THE MARSHALL POINTS MARKED WITH A STAR, so we can keep track of everyone’s progress.
6. You will be given details and telephone numbers at registration to call in case you have an emergency. Please remember to bring a mobile phone along if you have one, however there will be a sweep walker following behind that you can speak to if you have a problem.
7. St John’s Ambulance will be stationed in the entrance to the Quarry, so please call the emergency number given on the day if you need medical help. It is a good idea to take some blister pads with you just in case, and a pack of tissues.
8. Do take a camera along and send us any pictures, we would love to see them and we may use them in the publicity for future walks.
9. I am sure you wouldn’t dream of dropping any litter!
10.Children over 10 and Dogs are welcome on all these walks, but please make sure the children are supervised and dogs are kept on a lead at all times. The 1k walk in the Quarry is suitable children of all ages. Usual guidelines apply as above.
