When your event is finished, it is always best to collect the money you have raised as quickly as possible. Try to ensure that two people are present when you are counting cash.

Please don't send cash through the post. Bank any cash or cheques made payable to you and then write a cheque payable to 'Shelter' for the amount collected.

Send your cheques to:

Community and Events team, Shelter, 88 Old Street, London EC1V 9HU

Include any sponsorship forms you have used so we are able to claim Gift Aid - this means your gift to us could be worth almost 30 per cent more. Please enclose a note with your name, address, postcode and details of the event so we can thank you properly for your fantastic fundraising help.

Tell us what you've done

We love to hear about how people have supported us. Do tell us how your event went and send any photos too - we might even use them in our newsletter, if you agree.

Any questions?

If you would like to discuss your fundraising idea or have any questions, please contact the Events team on 0844 515 1190 or email events@shelter.org.uk
