More information:

There is a £100 registration fee, and you will need to commit to raising a minimum of £2,200.

Places are offered based on the quality of your application, so please give as much detail as you can when you are applying. You must also select that you are affiliated with or employed by Walpole when applying.

Places are offered based on the quality of the application, so it’s really important that you are as detailed as possible when answering the three questions NSPCC looks at when scoring applications:

  1. We'd love to know a bit more about why you'd like to fundraise for NSPCC. Let us know a bit more about your motivation:
  2. Please tell us how you are planning to fundraise, please include as much detail as possible and your back up plans:
  3. How much do you hope to raise for the NSPCC if you were successful?

    *Please note that NSPCC won’t accept applications that list their target as lower than £2,200 as this is the minimum you are asked to raise.*

Top tip: The best applications show understanding that fundraising £2,200 requires a lot of hard work. Alongside showing your passion for keeping children safe, outlining specific fundraising activities you have planned and any back up plans you have to help hit your £2,200 fundraising target will make for a strong application.
