It's about being safe not sorry...
We want you, your friends, family and everyone attending your event to enjoy themselves and have fun while raising funds for our research. But above all we want you to be safe in the knowledge that your event is safe and doesn't fall foul of any legislation.
Fundraising events are covered by the Health and Safety at Work Act, so you need to make sure you comply with the venue's fire and safety regulations and don't endanger members of the public attending your event or passers-by.
If you're planning a larger scale event, you should look at the Health and Safety Executive's publication Essential Health and Safety at Work where you can download a pdf copy free of charge.
