Challenge yourself
Take a look at the challenge events on offer to find one that’s right for you, there is something for everyone.
A Trustee or staff representative will be present at major events and other local events wherever possible. When there is no one from CBF present the following guidelines should be used.
Please tell us the event is happening
If you are holding a fundraising event for CBF, please let us know. We will support you as much as we can, and may be able to put you in touch with an experienced volunteer who can give tips for running your event. We can also advertise the event for you, provide you with information about the CBF to use at your event and advise you whether license is needed.
Keep yourself and the people attending the event safe
Make sure the event you are running is covered by insurance. You may be able to use CBF insurance, but you will need to check with us first.
Carry out a risk assessment before the event, it will help prevent any accidents. We can provide you with a simple, user friendly template when you tell us about your event.
If you are running a large scale event it may be necessary to provide first aid facilities. St John’s Ambulance or Red Cross will be able to provide advice on this.
If you are providing food at your event please follow good food hygiene procedures and comply with food safety laws and regulations to make sure the food you provide is safe.
Handling cash donations
Any funds you raise on behalf of the Challenging Behaviour Foundation belong to the CBF and we ask that you bank your donations as soon as possible. If you are dealing with large amounts of cash there should be two people responsible for counting money after the event. In the unlikely event that you raise sponsorship for an event that doesn’t go ahead you should offer donations back to the person(s) who donated them.
Protecting the Challenging Behaviour Foundation
We are very grateful to you for running an event to raise money for the CBF. However, please make sure that you don’t do anything that could potentially harm the CBF’s reputation, jeopardise our ability to carry out our daily work or put our charitable funds at risk. If you are in any doubt please do contact us and we will be happy to help you plan your event.
