Handy hints for your fundraising ideas

Health and Safety Issues

If your event involves the general public rather than friends, family and colleagues you may have to consider legal, health and safety, and insurance issues. If you are out and about pond dipping then always remember not to go alone, and to follow our safe dipping guidelines.

If you are fundraising for us, then please include our logo and charity number (we are registered charity no: 1107708), as this will keep you legal.

• Don’t go it alone: Ask friends and family to help you out

• Be aware of the costs: Do you have sufficient funds to cover the upfront costs of your event. We can help out with publicity materials, collecting boxes and pond leaflets. Companies and businesses are often happy to donate items you need for your fundraising event, it might be worth approaching them.
