We’re very keen to introduce the Challenge to people who haven’t taken part before and so have decided to offer bonus points to any team that encourages their colleagues to sign up for the first time. If you manage to get a new team on board, simply email your team name and the name of the team you’ve introduced to challenge@capita.co.uk and we will award you bonus points.

Fundraising

Raising money for Macmillan is the main reason why we organise the Challenge.  We raised over £68,000 at the 2009 event and with your help we’re hoping to do even better this year. 20% of your overall points score is based on fundraising so the more money you raise, the more points you’ll get!

Paying in money

There are three ways to pay in the money you raise:

- Through our Justgiving site –  www.justgiving.com/capitachallenge2010

- By cheque

- Directly into the bank.

Please see the ‘What to do with your fundraising money‘ page on the Challenge website for more details.

You need to keep track of how much money your team has raised as you’ll be asked to give your final total on the day. If some of the money hasn’t been collected by then you’ll need to bring your sponsorship forms as proof that it’s coming in.

Over the next few weeks we will be releasing a number of theme related questions on the Challenge Twitter feed. You will have 24 hours to answer the questions from the time they are posted. Every team that answers correctly will receive bonus points.

The first question will be posted between 9am and 5pm this Thursday so keep checking the Twitter feed. Please send your answers to challenge@capita.co.uk

If you have any questions or queries please contact the Challenge Team – challenge@capita.co.uk
