We can't take part on Friday 25 January. Can we do it on another date?
Yes, we'll still send you a pack with the guidelines, posters and sponsor forms and we'd be delighted if you can still take part and raise money for Macmillan.
Can we have extra posters and stickers?
Yes, please call the Big Hush hotline on 0845 601 1716 or you can download extra materials from the Downloadables page.
Can we have a certificate to show how much we raised?
Each time you send in a donation we will send you a thank you letter for the total amount you've raised. If you would like a certificate for your class or group you can download one from the Downloadables page.
I can't find the special paying-in slip. Can I get another one?
Please call The Big Hush hotline on 0845 601 1716.
When are our sponsorship money and forms due?
Your sponsorship forms and money need to be received by 31 March 2008.
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is an essential part of The Big Hush. Gift Aid will make the donations you receive worth more to Macmillan. This is because for every pound donated, Macmillan can claim an extra 28p from the Government. For example, if someone donates £3, Macmillan will receive £3.84.
All you have to do is make sure that each sponsor fills in their address and postcode on the sponsor form and ticks the Gift Aid box. It's that easy.
How do we pay in our sponsorship money?
You can pay in your sponsorship money in the following ways:
At the bank:
In England, Wales and Scotland use any branch of Lloyds TSB. In Northern Ireland use any branch of the Bank of Ireland.
Please bank the money you've raised using your unique paying-in slip. It's attached to the welcome letter included in your pack, but if you lose it, simply call 0845 601 1716 for another one.
