Shimmy Alcott, well I'm sure we could cover the cost of a half-day ski pass!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

has anyone looked into the best way of funding someone? I'm sure there must be tax breaks or something if its down a certain way or would just handing over a cheque be just as usuaful for the athlete?
I'd certainly add my name, though being realistic I'm sure we'd only raise enough for chemmy to maybe add a snowheads sticker to her case, in the grand scheme of things |
Depends if she can get herself registered as a charity, or receive the money through a charity, then you can claim Gift Aid on any donations - can add up to a huge amount of extra income, easily co-ordinated through something like Justgiving if you can get that sorted. Just an idea.
As for donations, she's welcome to a 1986 Ford Capri if she can get the boot lock undone, but it's not much use on icy roads.

£800 (minimum) as it stands at the moment - 40 donating at least £20 each - ought to cover a bit more than that

Put me down, with reservations about Paypal as previously mentioned.
Do we get to write our name on the bit of her that we sponsored, like they did with Guildford Cathedral for example?

Just hypothetically speaking if she were to appear in certain gentlemen's publications (no, not the top shelf although I bet hef would pay a flaming fortune to feature her) then she'd guarantee an awful lot of sales of said magazine and would certainly get a large fee for doing so. I have no idea of her interpretation of this route of money earning but I know that if I was a fit and gorgeous as her I wouldn't have the faintest problem with earning funds by posing in skimpy clothing. I do appreciate, however, that not everyone thinks this way - I'm pointing out the facts as I see them!
I do think it's a flaming disgrace that we can't manage to run a serious ski/board team from this country.

That's just about £1,000 pledged already. Wow! Help spread the word if you can, maybe we can offer support to others in the GB team who are equally struggling to get to the final races of the season.

Thanks, but little to do with me. I just gave the ball a gentle nudge in the right direction. The fact that it's gathering speed is entirely due to the good nature of various snowHeads

rob@rar, do we have enough donors to start something "properly" - will happily advertise it on my site too, think we can get a banner knocked up?

ski-finder, I think plans will need to be made asap to get a payment page going via snowHeads. In the meantime maybe put a link from your website to this thread?
I've stuck a link on my Facebook status highlighting this thread. Maybe others could do the same if you use FB?

Just copy and paste a link to thread into my facebook status or is there a clever way of doing it?

That's what I did, although I think FB did something clever with it automatically.

Great response from everyone and a good sum of money raised very quickly.
I would love to support Chemmy but all my £20's are going into TJ's fund so he can complete his Europa cup programme this season.
Sorry Chemmy! I know you'll understand. See you at the Brits.

rob@rar, I'd be quite happy to contribute some money to the fund, however, PayPal's not working for me at the moment (if you could let me know by PM another option that would be appreciated).

skisimon, thanks. Donations will go via snowHeads in some shape or form, and I'm sure there are other options such as bank transfer. admin is discussing with various people what the best options are, including the possibility of other kinds of support in addition to the money generously pledged by everyone in this thread, so I'm sure that as soon as that becomes clear there will be more news.
