Fundraising with the Nationwide Relay
We have deliberately created the sledge pull to use the unique moment of the Scott Centenary to create benefit for young people; specifically to raise funds for adventure and exploration activities and to create these opportunities in areas where they do not so readily exist. Fundraising for the Teamwork Challenge is optional. Our fundraising aims
The principal aims of the Nationwide Relay are to: 1. Raise funds for adventure and exploration activities within your school or group. 2. Raise funds for charities that you nominate. 3. Raise funds to support the museum and educational outreach work of the Scott Polar Research Institute. We suggest that the funds you raise are divided as follows
How do we raise funds ? By collecting cash, cheques, by online donations and using our donate by text service. Participants can use sponsorship forms, posters and letters, emails, e-flyers and word of mouth to promote their fundraising. Schools can do non uniform days, bag packing at Sainsbury's, letters to local companies and other organisations, such as chambers of commerce, and a great many more similar initiatives. You are only limited by your imagination. How much to raise ?
We recommend that each participant be tasked to raise a small amount, and suggest that fundraising be tackled as a team task. We suggest £100 for the team as a teamwork project target to represent the Scott Centenary. It could also be £111 per team, so including the the last eleven miles. It could even be as little as simple as a £1 per person entry donation. How do we support your fundraising? We will set up online fundraising with bmycharity and also a donate by text service for you. We can also gather the gift aid on any donations that are given. |       |
Who are our Charity Partners?
We ask that 15% of the that you raise be donated to the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI). The Institute, set up after Scott's death, is a well known and long established centre for research into both polar regions. |  |
