Sign Up Options

Reg fees: £10 - £99 

Minimum sponsorship target from: £75 - £300

Charity Sponsorship - Pay a small registration fee, but raise more so that Sands can cover the cost of your event place. Sands is an Associate partner so you get 25% off registration fee. 

Mixed Funding - Pay more of a registration fee, but raise less of a sponsorship target so that Sands can cover the rest of the cost of your event place.

Own Place - Pay for your event place upfront, but you do not have a set minimum sponsorship target, you can raise what you want for Sands.

Charity Sponsorship and Mixed Fundraising will need to raise at least 50% of their minimum sponsorship target 4 weeks before the London Winter Walk go ahead, so their entry is secure.

As part of Team Sands you'll receive 

• Warm Sands welcome with fundraising ideas and training tips.
• Supportive team emails to help you reach your fundraising goals.
• A free Sands technical t-shirt.
• Once in a lifetime experience which will help save babies' lives and support anyone affected by the death of a baby. 

Sands want to ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of time.  We want to campaign for change and support research so that fewer babies die and so that fewer families experience the pain of losing a baby.

We all know someone who has lost a baby. So please join Team Sands and help us continue to be there for them. 

''It was an incredible day and an epic challenge. I am so proud to have raised money for Sands and I hope it goes someway to helping families in a way that I was helped.''
