Sponsor Forms and Money

To maximise your sponsorship make sure you get your sponsors to include their name, home address, postcode and if they are UK taxpayers that they have ticked the Gift Aid box.

When you have collected the money you can do one of three things:

1) You are welcome to bring your sponsorship with you to the start of the event

2) You can send a cheque to our Admin Centre at Slynedales:
Bike The Bay
CancerCare
Slynedales
Slyne Road
Lancaster
LA2 6ST

3) Take it to either the Lakes Centre, Kendal or Slynedales, Lancaster.

Please return all sponsor money by 30th May 2010.

By getting your sponsors to give their home address and tick the “Gift aid it” box when they sponsor you they could increase your sponsor money without it costing them a penny extra.

If your sponsor is a UK taxpayer and they clearly write their full name, home address and postcode, we can claim tax back from the government. So, for every pound donated, we receive £1.28.
