rope taking action, changing lives

Rope supporters have done many different things to raise money for Rope:

• running the London Marathon
• annual South Downs Way Walk
• a sponsored parachute jump, fast, haircut or other feat.

If you want to organise a sponsored event for Rope you can download grid sponsorship form and individual sponsorship forms to collect sponsors.

Don't forget to ask people to Gift Aid their donations as this will further increase the funds you raise.

You can order copies of our general leaflet to distribute to those supporting any event you may be organising.

If you would like to raise funds online, Rope recommends Virgin Money Giving, an online service that manages all aspects of your fundraising.

Why not celebrate a special event by asking your friends and family to give a gift to Rope in lieu of a personal present. An 80th birthday celebration raised enough to provide a well for a village in Tanzania whilst a 40th wedding anniversary helped free several women in DR Congo from a life of prostitution. Please contact the Rope office for suitable projects or people to support.

You can raise money for Rope just by collecting all your used stamps! All you need to do is leave approximately 1/4 inch around each stamp, pop them in an envelope and send them to:

Rope stamps
PO Box 6198
Leighton Buzzard
Beds

If possible, keep foreign stamps separate from UK stamps as you can raise more money for them. Just pop them in a separate envelope and clearly mark it as foreign stamps and send it to the above address.
