As a fundraiser, there are a few responsibilities that you need to be aware of when fundraising:
It’s up to the activity organiser to ensure the safety of the activity, including organising appropriate public liability insurance and providing first aid services if they are needed.
You need to fulfil any legal obligations for fundraising and comply with any regulations. You will also need to organise any permits, licenses, insurance or authorities to fundraise where necessary. This information will be available from your state government or local council.
You will need to hold on to all the money you raise until your fundraising activity is over and make sure it’s kept in a safe place. Money needs to be donated to us within 7 days of the activity being completed.
You may only use our name and logo to promote your activity if you adhere to the conditions outlined below:
o Any promotional material and collateral that uses the Variety – the Children’s Charity logo must state the words ‘Proudly Supporting’ or similar before the logo.
o All promotional materials and collateral must be approved by us before going to print or being distributed in any format.
o If you are unable to adhere to the above conditions, please use the words “proudly supporting Variety – the Children’s Charity” or similar in text without using our logo.
You are not able to approach the general public with door to door or telephone collections as part of your fundraising activity.
People under 16 years of age collecting donations or money must have an adult with them.
