For the week long walkers who require a berth, we do require a non refundable deposit of £100 and expect you to raise a minimum of £1000. This may seem a lot now but with our help you will soon
raise that figure, if not more, as the £1000 is only the minimum requirement.

We can supply you with wrist bands, books, calendars and raffle tickets to sell. Also use our fundraising page for money raising ideas. There are blank posters, leaflets and sponsorship forms online to download soon. If you need help setting up a justgiving page we can help you with this process too.

Ideas for raising money
Here are a few ways we can help you raise your minimum sponsorship to join the Walk4Matt.

• Swim, walk, climb, run, wheel.  Why not get your friends and colleagues to sponsor you on a challenge such as a bike-ride, run, marathon or other physical activity. You can raise cash for the foundation and get fit whilst training for your event! Don’t forget that Matt holds his own walking event, ‘Walk for Matt’ which takes place around the Premiership final in the spring of each year.  Participants are welcome to join and details can be found on this web-site.
  
  
• Sell it!  Selling stuff is a great way of raising funds for charity, you can de-clutter your house, garage and shed by selling unwanted items at a car boot sale and donating any profit to the Foundation.
  
  
• Fundraising dinners, lunches or coffee mornings are a good way for organisations to raise funds, why not get your club or organisation to hold an event and donate some of the proceeds to Matt’s Foundation, we can help by offering advice on the best way to raise funds at these events.
   
  
• Raffles and Lotteries can raise a lot of money but please be aware of the law as previously mentioned above.
  
  
• Quiz nights and treasure hunts.  Holding events such as these can be a lot of fun and help to raise funds for both your club or organisation and the Foundation, remember it doesn’t matter how much you raise, every pound will be used in assisting a person that has been seriously injured through sport.
  
  
• Outdoor events – There are a plethora of ways of raising money through conducting outdoor events such as golf tournaments, rugby sevens, parties and band concerts.  As previously stated please refer to the advice given by the relevant organisation to ensure you have the health and safety issues covered off. If in doubt please give us a call to discuss any problems you may have.
  
  
• Wacky and Wonderful – There are many other wacky and wonderful ways to raise funds, sponsored head shaves, beard growing, baked bean baths, silences, yes they’re all out there, why not try and come up with your own weird and wonderful idea,( as long as it’s safe and legal of course!)
