General Questions

How much do I need to raise?

If you are taking part in a MoonWalk or SunWalk we ask that you aim to raise a minimum of £100.00 for Walk the Walk Worldwide. The minimum amount for a team remains £100.00 per person. Children aged 12 and under (on the day they are doing the SunWalk) are just asked to raise as much as they can.

Dealing with cash

PLEASE DO NOT SEND CASH IN THE POST UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

Please pay the money into your account, and send us a cheque, or alternatively obtain a postal order from the post office (remember to keep the receipt).

Note that all types of insurance that Royal Mail offer specifically exclude cash

Cheques and Charity Vouchers – Who do I make them payable to? etc

• Please make cheques and charity vouchers payable to: WALK THE WALK WORLDWIDE.
  
• Please put your name, address and walker number (if you know it) on the back of each of them.
  
• Please check all the cheques and charity vouchers before you send them.
• Acceptable Payees are: Walk the Walk Worldwide, Walk the Walk, MoonWalk and Breakthrough.
• The amount in words and the amount in figures must be the same.
• They must be signed. (CAF vouchers for £100 or less, or CAF vouchers which are anonymous, do not need to be signed)
• They are valid for 6 months. (Please allow time for us to process and bank them)

When do I send in my sponsor money?

You can send in sponsor money before and after the event, in more than one lot if you wish or if it’s more convenient for you, but please don’t bring it with you to the event itself!

There is no specific time limit but we would prefer if it was within a couple of months after the challenge you have taken part in....but obviously we will accept it all year round!

Where do I send my sponsor money?

Please make sure to put the correct postage on the envelope. Since Royal Mail changed its price structure, a regular 1st or 2nd class stamp is not enough postage for any envelope weighing more than 100g, OR that is larger than A5 in size, OR that is thicker than 5mm (half a centimetre). If not enough postage is paid, Royal Mail charge us a fee as well as the excess postage cost, and the envelope is delayed. As a guide, you can put about 8 sponsor forms and 27 cheques in the A5 envelope we supplied you with and stay under 100g – remember to check the thickness as well though! If your envelope does not meet ALL of the criteria above, please take it to the counter at a post office, or you can check how much postage to attach at www.royalmail.com

Please send your sponsor money to:

Have you received my cheque? / Why haven’t you banked my cheque?

We at Walk the Walk are delighted that so many thousands of walkers take part in our events, and we receive millions of pounds of your fundraising, nearly all of which all comes in at once, and so it does take a little time to process and bank.

If it has been a month since you sent your cheque in and it has not been banked, please provide us with the details of the cheque(s) you sent so that we can check our records and fill out this form here

Can I pay my sponsorship by credit / debit card?

I am sorry but we are unable to accept debit or credit cards for payment of sponsorship money.
