Local Fund Raising
We thank you for your interest in supporting Madeleine’s Fund. If you are thinking of raising money for Madeleine’s Fund:
1. Madeleine’s Fund is not a charity. It is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. Remember not to refer to Madeleine’s Fund as a charity. You must not use official charity collecting tins.
2. We are happy for you to run local events such as bake sales, sponsored events, jumble sales etc.
3. Please remember to comply with all relevant regulations, including local authority requirements. Some local authorities require sign off on final statements by an auditor. Please note we are unable to provide this audit for you.
4. You must ensure you have adequate insurance for any event you hold.
5. It is alright to say you are raising money for Madeleine’s Fund but we are not able to say you are raising money on behalf of the Fund.
6. Please do not contact celebrities to organise a high profile event without specific permission from the Directors of the Fund.
7. When you are counting cash raised, ideally two people should be involved in the count and sign to verify the amount raised.
8. Please remember that any cash raised should be securely locked away and banked at the earliest possible opportunity
