Raising sponsorship - is a vital part of the Tiumpan 20/20 Challenge. As a charity fundraising event, each entrant is required to raise a minimum of £50 in sponsorship (£100 per team of two). Note that there is a deadline for returning sponsorship money - 15th Aug 2020. Collecting Sponsorship Money... Sponsorship can be arranged through Virgin Money Giving, Setting up your own sponsorship page on their site can make the whole process of sponsorship much easier. Just click on the following link – Virgin Money Giving.
One of the benefits of arranging sponsorship through Virgin Money Giving is that it facilitates the collection of Gift Aid from the Government. Challengers can increase the value of their sponsorship by 25% by asking sponsors to fully complete the Gift Aid details if they are a qualifying UK taxpayer – this costs them nothing but allows tax to be recovered and added to the total sponsorship. To be valid for Gift Aid purposes the address on the form of each sponsoring donor must be a home address and NOT a business address. The home address MUST also have a Post Code.
