If you need more sponsorship cards and bookmarks, you're welcome to photocopy them, but we think it's much more motivating if every child has their own officially printed card. So we'll be happy to send you extra supplies. Just give us a call on 0870 2401124 or email us stating your school name, postcode, your name, quantity required and age group. They should arrive within 7 working days.
