How to sponsor Barrie Wade's Australian bike ride
Sponsorship Target = £30,000. Amount raised to date = £41,830.81
Please show your support for Barrie by sponsoring him to cycle 4,500km across Australia in aid of The Alexandra League of Friends and Mencap.
We are pleased to offer two ways to pledge your sponsorship to Barrie. The first is to make an online, secure payment using your credit or debit card. Payment is made using Paypal which provides a secure and trusted method of pledging your sponsorship without revealing your credit/debit card number or financial information.
To make a payment select the amount you wish to sponsor and whether to want to increase the amount received by the charities (at no extra cost to you) by selecting "Yes" for Gift Aid. By selecting "Yes" you will enable both charities to take advantage of the government scheme to reclaim income tax so that for every £1 donated, £1.28 will be received.
Please note: You must pay an amount of income tax or capital gains tax equal to the tax we reclaim on your sponsorship amount. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax relief on your gross donation at 18% (eg the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and the basic rate at 22%).
Finally, click the "sponsor" button and you will be taken to the secure Paypal site to make your payment. Please remember to complete your name and address, including your postcode so we can acknowledge your sponsorship.
The second way to show your support is to download a sponsorship form (click on the button below), complete the details on the form and return the completed form and sponsorship cheque back to:
