Sponsorship forms will be sent out to you in your fundraising pack and if you need more, please contact us and we can send more to you.

Can I just pay the registration fee and not raise money?
No. Due to costs involved with putting on this event we ask our participants to aim towards a minimum fundraising target of £250, we set this target to ensure all costs are more than covered. Should you require fundraising advice or wish to discuss a personal fundraising target please contact our team directly on 01292 435 197.
What time does the Bungee start and finish?
Registration will open from 09:00 and jumps will begin from this point onwards. You will receive a rough indication of your bungee time prior to the event, however please be aware these are roughly estimated times.
I have friends and family who are unable to participate in the Bungee, can they join me to celebrate after I have completed the jump
Yes, we encourage friends and family to come along to support you at the Riverside Museum.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We regularly monitor the weather forecast in the lead up to an event. Please dress weather appropriate and wear sensible footwear.
The Santa Bungee would only be cancelled in cases of extreme weather and in this instance participants would be notified as soon as possible. Participant safety is our primary concern and in the event of unsafe conditions the Bungee would be rescheduled.
How can I access any photos that are taken on the day?
Photographs may be taken throughout the event and used in future publications for Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity. If you do not wish your image to be used, please identify yourself to the organisers on the day.
