Fundraising terms and conditions.

Thank you for your interest in raising funds to support AuDHD UK and our mission to end autism and ADHD-related suicides in the UK. We receive no government grants and rely entirely on voluntary donations from the public to fund our work.

To protect AuDHD UK and everyone we support, all fundraisers must adhere to the following terms and conditions. Agreeing to these terms allows you to use our charity name (‘AuDHD UK’), and our ‘in aid of AuDHD UK’ and ‘supporting AuDHD UK’ materials for your fundraising activity.

If you are under 18, your parent or guardian must review these terms and conditions and assume responsibility to ensure compliance with them on your behalf.

Independence from, and protection of, AuDHD UK

  • You are organising fundraising activities as an independent supporter of AuDHD UK (registered charity no. X (England and Wales), SCX (Scotland)), raising funds for AuDHD UK.

  • All references on your materials should state, ‘in aid of AuDHD UK’ or ‘supporting AuDHD UK’.

  • You will organise all aspects of your fundraising and it is your responsibility to ensure all necessary permissions and licences have been obtained. AuDHD UK accepts no liability relating to your fundraising activity.

  • You must ensure that the activity is covered by full and comprehensive insurance where necessary, and that you have all health and safety measures in place when necessary for your fundraising activities. AuDHD UK is not liable for any injury to person or material damage or loss which results from your fundraising activity.

  • You must contact us to request approval before approaching any companies, national press, or celebrities to support your fundraising activities.

  • AuDHD UK is apolitical, so you must not use AuDHD UK’s name in any political activity.

Use of AuDHD UK volunteer fundraiser materials

  • A range of fundraising resources are available to help promote your fundraising activities. You must not alter these materials other than to add your fundraising event details where required.

  • You shall not use any of the AuDHD UK logos, ‘in aid of AuDHD UK’ logos, or ‘supporting AuDHD UK’ logos in any way other than for the purpose of fundraising.

Acceptable fundraising activities and standards

  • All fundraising activities must adhere to the Fundraising Code of Practice.

  • For guidance on the behavioural standards required of all fundraisers, please see: Behaviour when fundraising | Fundraising Regulator

  • You will not engage in cash collections in the street or by going from door to door.

  • Fundraising events held on private premises that involve a percentage of ticket sales and/or collections need to be discussed with and authorised by AuDHD UK. Please get in touch with details about your event or collection. 

Dealing with the money raised for AuDHD UK

  • You will transfer all funds collected/raised, and return your Paying In Form and any Sponsorship Forms, to AuDHD UK within 6 weeks of the activity ending. If you are not able to do this, then you must inform us in writing by emailing hello@audhduk.org.

  • You must not use your fundraising for any kind of personal, commercial, or private financial gain.
