can i change my fundraising package?
absolutely! simply select a target that you would like to aim for upon registration, and then if you find you would like to change this, this is fine. for example, you may raise £100 and then want to push your fundraising further and aim for £250 - this is absolutely awesome, just let us know!
where can i park?
there is no parking on-site but there are a number of car parks nearby to the park in the city centre, we would recommend the sophia gardens pay and display or north road pay and display car parks.
