Where your money goes

Your Leeds Abbey Dash fee only covers the event costs, so Help the Aged relies on your sponsorship donations to make a real difference to the lives of disadvantaged older people.

This year, proceeds from the Leeds Abbey Dash will fund a Help the Aged HandyVan in the Leeds and West Yorkshire area. HandyVans fit security devices in the homes of isolated older people to help them feel less vulnerable.

Collecting your sponsorship money

On the right hand side of this page, you can download a paying in form to complete and send to us with your sponsorship money. We do not accept cash. Cheques should be made payable to Help the Aged.

Please send us your sponsorship money by 30 March 2009. If you have used the JustGiving site, you don't need to worry about sending us the money, as it is sent directly to us from JustGiving.

If you have trouble downloading any of the forms on this page, email dash@helptheaged.org.uk telling us which resources you want, and whether you'd like them emailed or posted to you.
