Rathdrum Cancer Support group will issue Event Hosts with a permit card or certificate prior to commencement. This is to help maintain the integrity of this organisation and potential fundraisers. People have adopted many creative forms of fundraising throughout the years. Here is a selection of events that have brought in much needed funds to enable the group to offer helpful services and assistance to patients and their families.

In line with Charity Registration Guidelines the following code of practice must be adhered to by all fundraisers. Prior to organising a fundraising event on our behalf, you must be 18 years of age or over. If under 18 you must present permission from a parent or guardian to RCSG. RCSG, are happy to offer support, assistance and advise when co-coordinating your proposed event. However, the overall running of an event, including insurance, expenses, record keeping and management is the responsibility of the fundraisers. To comply with auditor requirements and to preserve the integrity of you, the event organiser, it is required that at least two people oversee an event and be present in the counting and remittance of the proceeds. We also require that any proceeds raised on behalf of RCSG be remitted as soon as possible after a fundraising event or within a maximum of 30 days.

Many people have used personal occasions and bereavements as acknowledgement of gratitude and support to RCSG as a means of raising funds eg. birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or at the passing of a family member. Any individual or group must discuss fundraising plans with Rathdrum Cancer Support Group prior to organising or advertising an event on our behalf. Our policy of transparency of receipt of funds and distribution of funds is an integral element of the ethos of this organisation.
