Outdoor UK Challenge Events - Code of Fundraising Practice
Extract from the Institute of Fundraising's "Outdoor UK Challenge Events Including the Three Peaks Code of Fundraising Practice". Full document is available to download (below).
Many fundraising organisations raise funds from events based outdoors whereby individuals or teams are challenged to complete a course that is sufficiently compelling to attract sponsorship. Such events have been commonly held in areas of attractive landscape such as National Parks, especially in mountainous regions.
These areas are under increasing visitor pressure and land managers (such as the National Trust/National Trust Scotland and National Park Authorities) as well as local people are justifiably concerned about the impact of such fundraising events. It is important that this Code is followed in order to ensure the sustainability of this
fundraising activity.
