Can I register as a team?
Absolutely! There's an option on the registration form to create a team, or you can do this after you've registered. As team captain, you can invite others to join.
Where and when is the challenge?
The beauty of the challenge is that you get to decide where and when you'll do it and the distance you'll cover. Assemble your squad, agree a fixture date and route that works for everybody, and go for it! You've got until the season wraps up in May to complete your walk, over as many days as you need.
Is there an entry fee?
No – taking part is completely free!
How do I claim iron-on letters to personalise my top?
Once you have raised £380 (excluding Gift Aid) on your personal fundraising page, we'll drop you an email. You can tell us the name you'd like to receive or choose one of the following phrases:
For Mum
For Dad
For Grandma
For Grandad
We'll post the iron-on letters to you so you can personalise your top to wear on your walk or to future matches.
Do my donations go to Dementia UK?
Yes. Donations made through Funraisin – our secure online fundraising platform – are sent to Dementia UK.
Like most online donations, your donation is subject to a standard payment processing fee charged by our payment provider, Stripe. This fee is typically 1.4% of the donation + 25p per UK card transaction.
Dementia UK does not pay any platform fees for donations made through Funraisin. The platform is funded through the optional contributions that some donors choose to make.
Why am I being asked to add an optional contribution when donating?
When you donate through Funraisin, you will see the option to add a voluntary contribution alongside your donation.
This optional contribution helps cover the running costs of Funraisin, including payment technology, fraud protection, customer support, ongoing platform improvements and compliance. If you choose to contribute, you will help cover these costs so Funraisin can continue to provide a free fundraising platform for Dementia UK and other charities.
Do I have to pay the optional contribution?
No. The contribution is completely voluntary.
If you'd rather not add it, simply select 'I don't wish to help cover costs' during the donation process. Your donation will still be processed and sent to Dementia UK, and choosing not to contribute will not affect your donation or your fundraising experience.
