1 Top tips Getting started Your one-stop guide to fundraising success

2 You can fight dementia with a bake sale, a baked bean bath or even a body wax! # IFIGHT DEMENTIA Get fit and have fun with a danceathon. Lace up for a fun run, a marathon or something in between. Glam up with a sponsored glitter eyebrows day. Hold an office sports day, complete with egg & spoon and three-legged races. Hold a good old fashioned bake-off, because who doesn t like cake?! Fundraise on two wheels with a sponsored bike ride. Take the plunge in a timeless classic - the baked bean bath. Go head to head in a quiz, which wouldn t be complete without a raffle! Fire up the barbie with a summer party for friends, family and colleagues. Dust off your walking boots and join one of our organised UK or overseas hikes. Once you ve decided how you ll fundraise, create a fundraising page online or use your sponsorship form then ask your friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you! You can find more fundraising ideas and support at /AlzheimersResearchUK Registered charity numbers and SC042474

4 Prevention, treatment, cure You ll give us the power to fund vital research into dementia. Thank you. There are 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia. By 2040 that number is expected to rise to over 1.5 million. That s why every minute of research is so important. Because only research will defeat dementia and stop it destroying so many lives. No other UK dementia charity puts more money into research than Alzheimer s Research UK. And it s working. The discovery of genes that influence the risk of Alzheimer s has revolutionised our understanding of this disease and could lead to potential new treatments. But we mustn t stop now. 140 Right now, people like you are helping to fund around 140 vital research projects at universities across the UK. 66m Since 1997 we ve committed over 66m to dementia research. 15 We support 15 research centres and over 1,000 researchers around the UK. Dementia. The facts. Many people think dementia is a natural part of ageing but this is not the case. Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain. It is a word used to describe symptoms that occur when brain cells stop working properly. Alzheimer s disease is the best-known and most common cause of dementia and accounts for around two-thirds of cases in the UK. Common symptoms of dementia include the gradual loss of memory, decline in communication skills and difficultly with thinking and reasoning. As the condition progresses many people struggle with everyday tasks such as feeding and dressing themselves. In the latter stages they may become unable to move, communicate or swallow and need 24 hour care. We need to find a cure. Chris Graham, 40, knows how much dementia can affect a whole family. His dad, aunt, cousin and granddad all died of early-onset Alzheimer s in their 40s. Now his 43-year-old brother has it, and Chris has discovered he has the faulty gene too. We need to find a cure, says Chris, who completed a mammoth 16,000 mile cycle ride in North America to raise money for Alzheimer s Research UK. We ve got a man to the moon, why can t we cure this? With your support we can defeat dementia. Thank you for everything you are doing. Through research, we can understand the causes of dementia, which is essential if we are to develop new treatments and find ways to prevent it too. To find out more about dementia, order our free booklet All about dementia, or visit alzheimersresearchuk.org 4 5

5 Getting started Every pound counts Where the money goes and why every pound makes a difference. 10 could buy 100 microscope slides, which are essential and used every day by scientists studying dementia. 50 will help run our Dementia Research Infoline for two hours, helping to improve the lives of people living with dementia. 300 will pay for a high-tech brain scan for a patient involved in a research study, tracking the effectiveness of new drug treatments and improving diagnosis. 2,200 supports the team of one of our top scientists a senior research fellow for a whole week. This week could be what their team needs to make a vital breakthrough. 20 pays for ten of our GP information packs, sending dementia information to doctors surgeries around the UK. 125 will help scientists to map 5,000 genes in minute detail, unlocking the secrets of genetics and identifying new ways to prevent or treat dementia. 650 will help researchers extract and analyse the DNA from 250 blood samples, helping identify new genes that alter the risk of dementia, and provide vital clues for treatment. 21,000 will pay for an advanced microscope to allow scientists to identify and track crucial proteins in brain samples essential to spotting new ways to stop the damage sustained during dementia. Getting started Want to help us defeat dementia? We ve got some great ideas to power you on. 6 7

6 Individual events Setting yourself an individual challenge is a classic route to fundraising success. With friends and family Together, you re a powerful team. Ask for a donation instead of presents on your birthday or special occasion. Run, cycle, walk, swim From the London Marathon to Great North Run and Velothon Wales, you ll find details of loads of events you can take part in at alzheimersresearchuk.org/events We have places in some events, or simply run, walk, swim or cycle for us at any event where you have your own place. Challenge yourself; walk 10,000 steps every day for a month or ride from London to Paris in your spin class. Sell your unwanted items on ebay to raise money. Hold a fashion, films and food night themed with your favourite decade. Will it be 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s? Host a wine, beer or cheese tasting night. Organise a local sponsored walk, ask your neighbours and colleagues to join you. Hold a bake off, cake sale or coffee morning. Raising money the yummy way. It s a piece of cake. Give up alcohol, coffee, chocolate (or something else you like!) for a period of time. In a group Already involved with a group or club? Fundraise with them and you ll be united in the fight against dementia. You can get yourself sponsored to do just about anything! I want to get the word out to as many people as I can. This is a really important cause for my family. Golfer Oliver Walmsley (above) pledged to make a donation to Alzheimer s Research UK for every birdie he plays in a year. Organise a fundraising ball or hold an auction of promises. Hold a collection in your area or wash cars for donations. Organise a Britain s Got Talent-style competition and show. Get sporty with a golf day, rugby match or tennis tournament. Put on a dance, yoga or Aerobic-a-thon Organise a Trivia Quiz, with people paying to take part. Fundraising with friends is a great way to make sure you have a lot to fun too. 8 9

7 At work Fundraising at work is a great way to have fun with colleagues. Get everyone in the office to donate their last hour s pay for the month or year. Organise a sweepstake for a big sports event. Guess the baby - everyone brings a picture of themselves as a baby and people pay to guess who s who. Set up a treasure hunt around your office, building or business park. Charge people or teams to enter and give a small prize. Arrange a Friday afternoon beer or sweets trolley and donate the profits. Hold a Double Denim Day, Onesie or Waistcoat Wednesday or Christmas Jumper Day and charge people to dress in your chosen theme. Set up a tardy box and charge colleagues 1 whenever they are late for a meeting. There s loads more great fundraising ideas for the workplace at alzheimersresearchuk.org/corporateresources Already know how you want to raise money? Simply skip to page 14 for top tips. I decided to support Alzheimer s Research UK because my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer s five years ago, and the disease turned his life upside down. Nick Gowan organised a mountain biking challenge in the Alps where riders climbed the height of Everest: The challenge originally started as something I was going to do by myself last year, but in the end about 20 friends volunteered to take part with me. We tackled the height of Everest and had a great time. This year I really wanted to widen it out to people of different skill levels to try to get lots more people involved. 10 Photo: Tristan Shu 11

8 Top tips top tips Alzheimer s Research UK is the driving force behind dementia research in the UK. Without their drive, passion and commitment to research, the challenge of dementia would be even greater. Helpful hints to give your fundraising an extra boost. It s going to be great! Professor John Hardy FRS, University College London, whose pioneering genetic discoveries have changed the face of dementia research

9 10 top tips for fundraising success You ve decided what you want to do. Fantastic! Here are some helpful tips to power you on. Prepare a plan See our handy checklist on page 18 with tips on planning. Keep it simple and start planning early to give yourself as much time as possible. It s going to be great! Set a target Setting a target motivates people to support you. Be ambitious but realistic and set an amount that feels right for you. Every single pound will help defeat dementia. If you like a real challenge, our Target 1200 club is for people who aim to raise 1,200 in a year. Visit alzheimersresearchuk.org/ fundraising/target-twelve-hundred to find out how to get started, and how we can support you too. Creating a budget Will there be any costs? If so, creating a simple budget at the outset is a good way to make sure your event makes a healthy profit. Online fundraising pages Setting up a personal online fundraising page makes it easy for people to support you. Go to Virgin Money Giving (uk.virginmoneygiving.com) and search for Alzheimer s Research UK. Set yourself a target, tell people what you re doing, and why you ve chosen to raise money for us. People will be much more interested if they know your story. Add a picture to your page and keep it updated it with progress reports. Share your page through your social media networks. Explain why dementia is such an important issue and the impact donations will have. After the event, keep your page open for a while. Donations will carry on coming in after the event when everyone sees how well you ve done. Helpful hint Make sure people tick the Gift Aid box on the sponsor form, or online. It means the government adds 25% to your donation, at no extra cost to you. Continued I would dearly love to see new treatments found. Sophie Howarth, 28, supports Alzheimer s Research UK because of her gran, Violet, 88, who has lived with vascular dementia for six years. My experience of caring for Gran has made me determined to do everything I can to raise awareness of dementia, says Sophie. I would dearly love to see scientists find new ways to prevent and treat dementia, to stop other families going through the same as us

10 10 top tips for fundraising success Order your merchandise We ve a range of Alzheimer s Research UK posters, stickers, t-shirts, running vests, banners, buckets and more to make your event look really special. If you d like any of these items, please place your order at least three weeks in advance. You can order online at alzheimersresearchuk.org/supporter-orders Helpful hint If you have a friend who s good at photography, ask them to take a picture of you preparing for your event to send to the local paper too. Spread the word Family and friends are a good place to start but don t forget neighbours, colleagues and people you know through school and social activities too. However you ask for support, make sure you explain why you have chosen to raise money for Alzheimer s Research UK and how much difference their support will make (see page 6). Share on social media Don t forget to spread the word on Facebook, Twitter and other social media. See the letter that came with this pack for details of how to contact us. Don t forget to add #TeamARUK to your Tweets to help us find you. Helpful hint If you have a birthday or other special event coming up you could ask friends and family to contribute to your Alzheimer s Research UK fund, instead of giving you a present. Sending money to power research A crucial step don t forget to send us the money you ve raised! If you ve raised money though an online page it will come to us automatically. If you re not using an online page, cheques should be made out to Alzheimer s Research UK and sent to Alzheimer s Research UK, 3 Riverside, Granta Park, Cambridge CB21 6AD. If you d prefer, it s simple and easy to pay by bank transfer, call or fundraising@alzheimersresearchuk.org to get our bank details. Every single pound you send will fund vital research to defeat dementia. Keep in touch with us Please tell us what you are planning and send us pictures too! You ll find the contact details of our local fundraising manager on the letter that came with this pack. We can add your event to our Supporters events section of our website and mention it on social media too, if you d like us to. Helpful hint Ask your employer if they would consider matching any money you raise, as part of their commitment to the community. Use your collection box Why not order a cardboard collection box from our website and put it somewhere really prominent, such as in your kitchen or company reception. It s bound to scoop up lots of spare coins to help in the fight against dementia. You can also order plastic collecting boxes and buckets to raise money at your event (see top tip number 5, opposite). But don t forget, if you re holding a street collection you ll need a licence from your council. It s great to know the money will make a real difference. Dave Golder, 47, wore a different pair of trainers every day for an entire year to boost funds for Alzheimer s Research UK. A self-confessed footwear addict, Dave has over 30 pairs of his own but relied on family, friends and work colleagues to loan him enough to see him through the year. A friend asked me how much money I d wasted on trainers, says Dave, and it got me thinking how I could turn my collection into something more useful. After the event... After you ve finished and raised fabulous funds, the most important thing is to say THANK YOU to everyone who supported you. Let people know it s still not to late to make a donation too. Many people donate even after the event, if they weren t able to come on the day and once they ve seen the great work you ve done. 16 Photo: Bath Chronicle 17

11 Your handy fundraising checklist Because even heroes need a helping hand to remember everything. Decide how you want to raise money (see page 8-10 for helpful tips). Share your story through your social media networks. Make a list of people you plan to ask for support (for example friends, family, colleagues, neighbours). Get in touch and tell us your plans. We would love to support you. Set up your online fundraising page (if you are using one) and share it. Order your Alzheimer s Research UK merchandise at least three weeks in advance. You re amazing! Tell friends, family and colleagues why you are fundraising and how they can support you. Collect money using your sponsorship form, collecting box and/or online page. T H A N K S Remind people to Gift Aid their donation. We can get an extra 25p for every 1 donated, at no extra cost to you. After the event carry on fundraising. People will still donate if they haven t already. After the event you can relax and enjoy knowing you re making a massive difference in the fight to beat dementia. 18

12 My dad lived with dementia and it s been amazing to perform with such a positive focus to raise money for the research experts. Karen, 52, who was inspired by her dad to start playing the accordion as a child, performed all over the UK for Alzheimer s Research UK.
