Sponsored Events - Getting started

Do you enjoy walking, running, cycling, swimming or have you another wonderful hobbie or interest that might make a sponsored event ? Are you interested in giving young people in Scotland new life chances ? If so, have you ever thought of making Venture Scotland the benefactor of your efforts?

First steps  - If you are planning a sponsored event please call Adrian Gibaut in the Edinburgh office on 0131-475-2395 to discuss your plans.

If appropriate Adrian may direct you to our online fundraising site at Justgiving see below;

Online fundraising: the easy way to raise sponsorship!
To help you raise funds more efficiently Venture Scotland is working with Justgiving to enable you to set up your own online sponsorship page so that your friends and relatives across the world can make a donation with just a click of a button.

By creating your online sponsorship page you can:

• Email your personalised page to all your friends, family and colleagues eg www.justgiving.com/yourname

• Personalise your page with a photo, message and fundraising progress. Friends can also leave messages of support

• Money is transferred directly into our bank (When someone sponsors you, you will receive an e-mail notification. You will also have access to a page giving you a breakdown of the money you have raised.)

• Raise money from people you wouldn’t normally see in person – including the taxman! If your sponsors pay tax, this system will allow us to collect an additional 28%

It takes just 5 minutes to set up your sponsorship page, simply visit www.justgiving.com, where you will be taken straight to our fundraising information and can follow the simple instructions to build your page.
