FAQs
There are several ways to pay in your sponsorship money. If you have collected sponsorship via an online platform such as Enthuse, JustGiving or GoFundMe, the money will automatically be transferred to St Margaret’s. If you have collected sponsorship yourself you can bring cash to the event, or to either of our hospice sites in Yeovil and Taunton.
To make a payment via BACS, cheque, or an online payment, please find the details here.
Unless stated otherwise, once the online registration has closed, your event ticket will be sent to the email address provided at the time of booking. Typically, this is 2-5 days before the event date. You should receive regular email updates before the event so please check your junk folder, and email [email protected] if you have any concerns.
We always strive to make our events as accessible as possible, and some events, including the Colour Run, Sunflower Stroll, New Year’s Day dip and Santa Abseil, are dog friendly. Dogs must be kept on short leads, and you must pick up after your dog. For further information, please refer to the terms and conditions of a specific event.
There are a variety of ways that you can volunteer at an event and we’re always looking for new volunteers to support us! Please email [email protected] to express your interest.

We often ask you to commit to raising a minimum amount of sponsorship. This is because your event registration fee only covers the cost of staging the event. St Margaret’s is a charity and hosting events is one of our core fundraising activities. Therefore, we encourage participants to fundraise and collect sponsorship for all events. For some events, for example where St Margaret’s pays an external provider, this is mandatory to ensure the event doesn’t run at a financial loss.
There are many ways companies and organisations can support our events, from corporate volunteering opportunities to sponsorship packages. For more information, please email our Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, Michelle: [email protected]
Where possible we offer group discounts for events. When booking for groups of 10 people or more participants, we can provide you with a unique discount code for your booking.
Please email [email protected] for more information.
When you sign up for an event, you will be asked to provide your email address and phone number, so that we can contact you with important event information. You won’t be contacted for other purposes, unless you consent for us to do so. You can request for St Margaret’s to delete your data after the event has taken place.
Please email [email protected] for more information.
