you'll always get rejections, you just need to try a lot more people than you want to get back

Hi there, unfortunately you will always get rejections, but there are still loads of companies out there who will help.

My mum took part in a tandem skydive to raise funds for breast cancer at the weekend, and she did a raffle too. She typed up a formal letter, and attached the letter she was sent by Breakthrough Breast Cancer(to prove it was legit). We then went to all the major local shops in our area- gift shops, beauticians, jewellery shops, homeware etc. We also tried sainsburys (who gave a £5 voucher!), waitrose, currys etc. most of the larger companies need you to go through head office, but a lot of the smaller ones are happy because it also promotes them to the local area.

She even contacted Virgin radio, who sent her a DAB radio and a couple of books.

Try EVERYONE you can, and don't give up good luck
