Legal/Health & Safety considerations

When fundraising it's important to bear in mind a few things to ensure your plans are in line with legal and health and safety best practice.

• all publicity materials should state 'All proceeds/profits will go to the British Thyroid Foundation'
• events should be held 'In aid of the British Thyroid Foundation, registered charity no 1006391, SC046037'

Raffles are regulated and the only type of raffle that can be operated without a licence is one where tickets are sold and the prize draw is held on the same day. You cannot pre-sell tickets without obtaining a licence from your local council. You must do this directly with them.
