You’re welcome to use our “In Support of Race Against Dementia” logo alongside your fundraising. This can be found here.
If you would like to run a raffle, auction or lottery, please follow the guidance by the Fundraising Regulator and Gambling Commission. There may be circumstances when a licence is required.
Extra care should be taken if your fundraising activity involves children and you must ensure proper adult supervision. Note that children under the age of 16 are not allowed to purchase raffle tickets.
Please refer to the Food Standards Agency guidance if you are organising any event which involves food and/or alcohol. Caterers will need to provide their food hygiene certificates and public liability insurance. Visit www.food.gov.uk for more information.
There may be tax relief available to you if you donate to charity through your business. More information can be found here.
Donating through Gift Aid boosts our income allowing us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. Gift Aid is a simple way to maximise fundraising, however it can only be applied on donations made by individuals or sole-traders. More information can be found here. Unfortunately it cannot apply to ticket sales, raffles or winning auction bids.
We are very grateful for all the fundraising undertaken by an employer and its employees in support of Race Against Dementia. Please ensure on any promotional materials or when speaking about your fundraising that you’re doing it “In Support of Race Against Dementia” and that your activities do not represent or appear to be organised by Race Against Dementia.
Race Against Dementia cannot accept any responsibility for your promotion or activities or have a liability to anyone that participates in them. If your promotion or activity involves the general public, we advise you to seek advice regarding public liability insurance. A range of companies offer this insurance.
As part of your fundraising you may come into contact with personal data and information belonging to people involved in your activity. You are responsible for ensuring that any paper or electronic data you hold complies with the Data Protection Act 2018. As a rule of thumb, you should keep any data you have stored securely and safe from loss, damage or unauthorised access. Do not keep data for any longer than you need it and do not share information about someone without their permission.
