Individual donation: If up to nine members of a club, group, organisation, team or school are attending the same competition or event, regardless of age, gender or category, they are each eligible for an individual donation.

Group donation: If ten or more members of a club, group, organisation, team or school are attending the same competition or event, regardless of age, gender or category, they are eligible for a group donation which is capped, and will be shared equally between the participants.
