Sponsors

Sponsoring Team Curried Away (Rich, Dave, Chris or Ben) is easy. We want you to, and you can do it securely and easily online. Our Justgiving page has now closed (on a final toal of £4044 plus gift aid of nearly a grand), but we’ll be delighted to take further donations in cash or cheque form (made out to Mercy Corps).

Our current charity fund stands at £4040+gift aid

Some people may also wish to help us out by contributing to our repair and petrol costs and to give us a few rupees to buy our way out of jail should the need arise. You can do so, securely, by clicking the button below. (Please be aware that this option doesn’t donate to the charity. To do that, use the Justgiving link at the top of the page.)

Our first sponsor is Urban Roolz

They have provided us with free hosting and some technical support in getting the site up and running. Their main business though is supplying good quality urban T-Shirts. Check them out. Thanks go out to them for helping us get the ball rolling.

Thanks also, to the kind folk at Fjordside Lodge, despite the extortionate taxes in Norway they have offered a generous cash donation. Fjordside Lodge offers fully equiped apartments and flats in beautiful surroundings and close to Bergen centre and the famous Norwegian Fjords. Ideal for a relaxing break…

Thanks to Steve at Directa. He has provided the team with loads of gaffer tape to hold our rickshaws together once they start disintegrating. Two of the rolls are luminous as well, to increase our ‘road presence’. Directa are a consumables company that specialise in tape. They’ve been in business 35 years and their website has over 18,000 products. Take a look.

Ring Automotive are pleased to support The Rickshaw Run and wish the team the best of luck. We have provided a set of lights to give the team a chance against incoming lorries! Head torches so the team can operate hands free, a wind- up torch and 2 wind-up lanterns. Our URL is http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/

Jungle Formula, the UK’s #1 Insect Repellant are pleased to sponsor Team Curried Away on their fundraising rickshaw expedition. They’ve sent the team a great pack of goodies, repellant, sunscreen, herbal sleeping tablets, ginseng to keep us awake, disinfectant and throat lozenges! Thanks so much. www.jungleformula.co.uk

Suzanne at Jubilee Clips has really kindly offered to supply us with enough clips to sort out any ‘hose surgery’ we might have to do on the trip. They also threw in some pens and pads and a little rucksack to carry vital spares in. Now, these are the guys who actually invented the Jubilee Clip all the way back in 1921. They’ve also offered to help raise some publicity for us. Honestly, I don’t think this company could be any nicer. So, for all your jubilee clip requirements, visit http://www.jubileeclips.co.uk/

A big thank-you to Travel Management Group as well. They’ve helped Rich out of a bit of a fix, by arranging complimentary transport down to Heathrow on the outward leg and back from Stansted on the return leg of the trip. http://www.travelmanagement.co.uk/

Thanks to each and every one of you who has made a personal donation as well. Your generosity is really respected. Our Curried Away heroes and heroines are:
