Planning your Fund Raising Event 

We encourage groups and individuals to organise fundraising events. Here is how to go about it:

1 - Choose a Date
Please look at the events which have already been booked and choose a date which does not clash with another fund raising event. It is better to spread these out over the next two years to maximise interest and people's generosity. Planning ahead is also advised as the halls get booked for other events well ahead. You can also see what other regular events are going on in the parish by looking at the events calendar on the website.

2 - Contact our events coordinator
Alison will advise you of any similar events being planned, check the availability of venues for your event, and make a provisional booking. You can contact Alison at fundraisingevents@sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk.

3 - Booking Confirmation
You will then have to confirm the booking as soon as possible with Thelma D'Costa at thelma@sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk in the parish office. You will also need to check out what facilities, such as tables, crockery and sound systems, you may need to use and let Thelma D'Costa or George McLennan, george@sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk know well in advance.

4 - Advertise
Use the weekly newsletter, Edgeways and emails to advertise your event. Contact Chris Woodward at website@sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk if you wish to send out a parish-wide email.

5 -  Gift-Aid
Ensure you maximise the use of gift-aid by having a supply of the special appeal envelopes; these are available in the parish office. There are rules about what qualifies for Gift Aid, please read them carefully, click here.

6 - Record keeping
Keep a record of expenses and income and contact Natalya Hamilton, Accounts Assistant, (natalya@sacredheartwimbledon.org.uk) to arrange paying in the proceeds.

Thank you for your support!
