Get sponsored

Staff from the Asbestos Removal Contractors Association (ARCA) completed a sponsored bike challenge

From abseiling to Zumba, the list of things you can be sponsored to do are endless. Bungee jump, skydive, run, cycle, give up alcohol, see how long you can be silent, grow a moustache or shave your head!

Please make sure you let us know about your sponsorship activities so that we can provide you with support, a fundraising pack and include you on our fab fundraising pages.

Email us or call free on 0800 169 2409, we'd love to hear from you.

Sponsorship forms are included in our fundraising packs but if you require more you can download them here.

Please remember to Gift Aid your donation to us if possible and remember to tell your friends and family to Gift Aid their donations too. For every £10 donated we get an extra £2.50 from the government making your donation £12.50 at no extra cost to you.

Remember to carry your sponsor forms where ever you go, you never know who you are going to meet who would be happy to sponsor you! Approach all the networks you are involved in such as your place of work, sports/gym, football/rugby/golf clubs, school, church, fishing/angling and your local community groups such as the local Round Table, Womens Institute, The Freemasons or Rotary Club! You would be surprised how eager they are to help you raise money for charity.

If you are taking part in any type of event you can set up your own fundraising page which will help to raise your profile, you can tell your story and why you want to personally fundraise for Mesothelioma UK.

A great way to raise money online is to set up a Justgiving or a Virgin Money Giving page, it's such an easy and efficient way to raise money for all your family, friends and colleagues. It only takes about five minutes to set up your page and you can add photos and a write up about the reasons why you want to support us, then just e-mail it to your family and friends and off you go.

When raising money for a charity event, always try to be honest with your sponsors about the reasons why you want to raise money for the Mesothelioma UK. Give them some background information, tell them about the charity and our services and why it is important to you, being more personal may make them more likely to sponsor you.

We love hearing your stories and getting your photos so we can share the amazing efforts of our supporters.
