Fundraising doesn't need to be difficult. Simply sign up to Virgin Money Giving (www.virginmoneygiving.com), set up your own fundraising page and email the link to all your family, friends and work colleagues or download a sponsorship form here.

Volunteering

  • Sponsored Walks: We are particularly looking for people to help with registration and stewards to work in pairs along to route to encourage and assist walkers as well as someone to lead the way and someone to follow behind to make sure everyone makes it to the finish line
  • Family Fun Days: Looking for people to help out on the NASS Information Stand, children's activities, and on the gate

If you would like to help out on the day please get in touch with Jill Hamilton by email or by phone on 020 8948 9117.
