Many companies have matched funding schemes, where they will match the amount you raise, or they have schemes where they will make a contribution towards your fundraising. Find out if your employer has either of these types of schemes! Even if they don’t have a scheme, they may well be willing to make a contribution. Some schemes may require you to provide an official receipt from us for the money you have raised, if this is the case, please read the receipts section below. Other companies may require us to complete a form for you in which case you will need to complete the part of the form that relates to you before attaching below or posting to us. We can also become an approved Charity for your company if your organisation requires it. We are already approved for many companies.

You may need an official receipt from Walk the Walk for matched funding applications or donor requests, especially from companies. If requesting one for matched funding, specify this along with your employer’s name for accounting purposes.

Simply fill in the below and we will get back to you as soon as we can

A walker is unable to request that a donation made to their online fundraising page is refunded. Requests for refunds of donations must be made by the donor.

When you are fundraising for us, you are raising money for Walk the Walk Worldwide, and the donation is not tied to whether you complete the challenge in which you are entered. So if you cancel your place, are unable to take part or do not finish, we do not refund the donations which you have raised. However, we do refund donations where there are exceptional circumstances, such as a mistake has been made, for example, the donor intended to donate £20, but donated £200 or where the donation has been made twice in error. Where there are exceptional circumstances, and less than two weeks after the donation has been made, and the donor wishes to apply for a refund of their donation they should fill in the form below. Refunds take approximately 8 weeks to process and any Gift Aid claim will also be reversed and cannot be claimed by the donor.

Transfer of donations between event participants is also not allowed

Our online fundraising system only accepts donations in £GBP (Sterling.) If you are from outside the UK then we welcome your donation however, you will have to consider the current exchange rate and how much you would like to donate. There may be costs associated with the conversion please contact your card provider for details

There are costs for any charity in dealing with any type of fundraising. No fundraising is “free”. Like so many activities it comes down to the balance between a cost effective business transaction (successful charities are businesses) and getting access to the maximum amount of fundraising for charitable purposes.

A cost associated to fundraising, could be an internal cost allocated against individuals (i.e. once we receive a cheque we have to enter it onto our system, allocate it to the correct walker, identify if Gift Aid is applicable or not, add the cheque to batches, compile all the batches, take it to the bank) or an external cost allocated against an organisation providing a service to the charity – e.g. online fundraising.

There are always costs associated with online fundraising, after all they have infrastructure to support which enables them to operate, which allows us (and you) access to their services. Even those that profess to be free are not – banks always need paying for processing credit card transactions.

So how much do we get charged? Unfortunately that is not something that we can answer. Why? Simply because we have confidential commercial agreements with various organisations. Because our fundraisers have raised such an incredible amount over the years, our rates are not the same as what is often displayed in online comparison charts.

So it comes down to trust.

You, our wonderful fundraisers, have to trust that we are recommending to you the most cost effective method for the charity to raise money online. The system is provided by GiveStar (a great bunch of happy people like us) and we have worked with them and our walkers to provide a system where the focus is you and Walk the Walk. Not the organisation that is providing the system. This means that when you ask your supporters to help, they learn more about where the money is going and what it will be doing. And that means they are more likely to feel confident about making that donation.
