Registration and fundraising:
- As a ZSL supporter, you must ensure you are fundraising legally and safely. You can find guidance on this below in ZSL’s general fundraising terms & conditions.
ZSL’s General Fundraising Terms & Conditions
In aid of ZSL
Thank you for raising funds for ZSL. Recently published guidelines mean that we need to ensure that our supporters understand that they are raising funds in aid of ZSL, but don’t represent ZSL. Please do not talk about ZSL policies or stance on specific issues (for example in press releases, in publicity or other materials for your event). Any enquiries should be referred to ZSL’s team at fundraising@zsl.org.
ZSL Logo
Please contact fundraising@zsl.org if you wish to use the ZSL logo. Our team can send you the correct logo. Please do not use the ZSL logo on any materials you create yourself without approval from ZSL.
Insurance
Please remember that you are responsible for the activity and for making sure that it is run safely and legally. ZSL cannot accept any liability or responsibility for anything that might happen to people or property as a result of your fundraising activity. If you are planning an event that involves the general public in any way you’ll need to budget for public liability insurance, which can be obtained from any insurer. If you are holding the event in a place which has liability insurance (such as a school or community centre etc), you should check with them what cover, if any, is available under their insurance and whether or not you need to arrange extra cover.
Collecting Money
If you want to collect donations at your event, please be aware that public collections do need specific permission and licences, depending on the venue. We don’t advise that you ever collect money door to-door or as part of a street collection, as it’s illegal to do so without a licence. For your own protection, if at all possible, make sure that you count collected monies with another person present and have them verify the total amount raised. Ask people who want to make a donation by cheque to make it payable to the ‘Zoological Society of London’ rather than to you personally. Make sure any coins and notes donated are kept in a secure place and is banked as soon as possible, then write a cheque to the Zoological Society of London for this amount to avoid sending cash in the post. Any expenses to be received from your event should only be deducted with the prior agreement of ZSL. Ensure all funds that you have raised are returned to ZSL within 30 days of your event.
Private lottery
If you hold a raffle at your workplace or club, there’s no need to obtain a licence. This is the type of lottery we recommend, since it is easy to run and isn’t legally complex. Just make sure that the raffle is only offered on the premises. You must make it clear who is running the raffle.
Public lotteries
If you hold a larger raffle that is open to members of the public, it must be registered with the local council. Due to the legal issues and extra complexity, we suggest that you avoid organising this type of raffle. Please note that ZSL cannot supply prizes for lotteries and raffles.
Small lotteries
If you hold a raffle as part of an event, but not the main focus of your event, you can also run it without a licence. With this type of lottery, there can’t be any cash prizes and both the ticket sales and the announcement of the results must take place during the event. No more than £250 can be spent on buying prizes, but no limits apply to the value of donated goods.
Gift Aid
By ticking the box headed Gift Aid, your sponsors are confirming that they are eligible to do so and meet the criteria set out there. They understand that they must pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year at least equal to the amount of tax that all the charities they donate to, will reclaim on their gifts for that tax year. They understand that other taxes such as VAT and Council Tax do not qualify. They understand the charity will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that your sponsors have given
Food
If you want to offer or sell food to the public, you should check with the environmental health department of your local council to see which food safety laws apply.
Take care
ZSL cannot accept responsibility for accidents, so please follow these simple principles to make sure that everyone’s safe while they are raising money. Contact the British Red Cross or St John’s Ambulance if you feel that first aiders are necessary. Always ensure that children are safe and that you do not allow them to ask for or collect money without an adult. Nobody should carry out fundraising in an unsafe environment, so assess any risks involved and make sure that those risks are eliminated or minimised, both for yourself and your helpers and for participants. If you are going to carry money around, take care with your personal security. Always use a safe route, take someone else with you and carry a personal alarm. If you hire anybody to help organise your event, or use facilities provided by a third party, make sure that they have suitable experience and their own insurance. Finally, remember that your activity if carried out within the workplace must comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, as well as all relevant legislation since. See www.hse.gov.uk.
