How can you help?

The Trust relies on the generosity of the Scottish public to survive. There are many ways you can help to support our work. Some of these are detailed below but you may want to organise an event yourself. Dances, barbecues and coffee mornings are popular.

Sponsored events

You can either decide to organise your own event – walks, cycles, slims are good ideas – or participate in one of the many Marathons which take place country-wide.

Challenges for 2005

Great North Run 18th, September 2005
The World's biggest Half Marathon!

You can now raise sponsorship money the easy way by using your own personalised online fundraising page from Justgiving.com. Your sponsors will be able to donate online with a debit or debit card. This allows you to collect sponsorship and donations from friends, family and colleagues without having to pursue cash and cheques after the event. Using this method for fundraising is secure and tax efficient with an automatic 28% extra in Gift Aid added to donations. To set up your own personalised web pages and online sponsor form just click on www.justgiving.com/SCDT
