Donate online

To donate, simply click on the relevant "Add to Cart" link below, which corresponds with the amount you wish to donate.  This will take you to a very secure server where donations can be made by debiting your credit or debit card.  The server will ask you to enter your email address and password connected to your Paypal account before proceeding to the "enter card details" page. 

If you do not hold a Paypal account, simply complete the information fields and follow the prompts.  Registration should take a maximum of two minutes. 

Please note, I do not have access to any sponsors' card details whatsoever, one of the main reasons for registering a Paypal account is so that an email receipt can be sent to you by Paypal, confirming the transaction. 

So that your security is guaranteed, please be advised that a small charge of 3.5% of the value of your donation plus £0.20 is added to cover handling and transaction fees charged by the secure server provider.  For ease of reference, I have devised a table which shows donation amounts before and after the fee:-

For donators who would like a special mention, please use the contact form and leave your name, town/city and amount donated.  A list of names etc. will be updated on a daily basis (usually at 10pm) and published on this website.

Click on the relevant number range to view that page of the online sponsorship list :-

1-40     41-80     81-120     121-160     161-200     201-240    241-280  

281-320     321-360     361-400     401-440

For those wishing to remain anonymous, no personal details whatsoever will be disclosed or divulged to anyone.

Alternative ways to donate

A pledge form is now available for those who would like to be listed on the website as a sponsor but would prefer to wait until I have completed the ride before providing payment.  Simply complete the form, preferably quoting an email address.  I will then receive the form by email and include your name and amount pledged on the online sponsorship list, usually on the same day (at approximately 10pm), providing you would like to be mentioned.  If the check box is not ticked, no name etc. will be published on there.

For those who do not own a credit/debit card or would prefer to donate in person, donations can be made free of charge at the counter of any branch of Barclays Bank by completing a Bank Giro Credit Slip.  Please quote the following sort code and account number:-

Sort code:  20-62-57     Account number:  10319104     A/c name: ridingfortheneedy.com

Sponsorship may also be made by BACS and telephone banking, again quoting above details.  Some banks may require you to quote the address of the account holding bank.  Usually your bank will not charge you for using these two methods.  Barclays Bank also accept CHAPS (same day transfer) credits into the fundraising Community Account.  Please be aware that your bank are likely to charge you for this service.  The branch details are as follows:-

Barclays Bank PLC, 5-7 Red Lion Street, Norwich NR1 3QH.

Finally, cheques and Postal Orders are also accepted.  Please make them payable to ridingfortheneedy.com and send them to the following address:-

Mark Tann, The Annexe, 8 Braymeadow Lane, Little Melton, Norwich, Norfolk NR9 3NQ.

I would like to say a big, big thank you for kindly donating to the causes shown on the links page.
