If you are organising your own fundraising event for Macmillan, rather than signing up to an organised event, you are responsible for making sure that the event poses no risk to others. Insurance is often included in venue hire fees, but not always. You may need to consider arranging public liability cover for some events, which will protect you against claims made by third parties for injury or property damage as a result of negligence. In most cases, for public and/or hazardous events, you may need public liability cover in place. For private events this may not be necessary. Please seek advice if you are unsure. Find out more about keeping your event safe and legal. If you are taking part in an organised event that you’ve signed up for, event providers usually have insurance in place, but you may wish to get in touch with the event organisers to check.
