Becoming a Fundraiser

How to become a Fundraiser

How do I set up a fundraiser to help fund a bench ?

Here are the steps for you to take for fundraising and to obtain permission for a bench installation near a location of your choice.

Scroll down and find the orange bar that says Start Fundraising
Click on that and it will take you to the screens where you can enter your own name and details of what you would like to do (you may need to create an account)
You do not have to set a limit, but if you wish to, choose £2000
Complete the onscreen instructions and your fundraising page will be up and running and linked to the charity
You can then post updates when and as you like to keep people informed of progress

Next step is to make contact with the organisation that owns the land that you wish to have the bench located.
If it is council owned, please try and make contact with the correct person/department for planning permission or parks & recreation. If the land is owned privately, start conversations with them about what you wish to do, use our name and charity number and get to the person or department that can grant permission

Once you get that far, please let us know the contact details and we will work with you to get the application through all the hurdles that they seem to have

We will also contact the bench manufacturer and get them prepared for the supply of your bench, and they will contact you for some personal touches, such as your loved one's name if you wish to have it engraved into the seat slats
We will also then have TimelessTributes contact you so that you can have a musical or video tribute compiles and loaded onto a QR codes plaque that people can scan and relive some happy memories

I hope this is all clear to you, but if not, please feel free to contact us for more assistance at any time

Once you have the funds raised and we have agreed a date for installation with the local authority, we can discuss how you wish to have the day to be organised for the unveiling, any special guests, media coverage etc and start with some advertising/promotion to ensure your message to everyone and the story behind the bench reaches as many people as possible
We will also have a post on our website with your story and pictures from the day of unveiling
