Organising an Event – Our Help

Home | Get Involved | Organising an Event – Our Help

Your efforts within the community help us enormously, both financially in the funds that you raise, and also in the awareness you generate as part of this process.

Unfortunately, there is not a person amongst us that has not been touched by breast cancer in their lives.

We kindly urge you to continue your efforts by organising fundraising events. They can be part of a company initiative, a school fundraising programme, online fundraising or a local event.

Help us raise much-needed funds to support our ongoing research, as well as spreading the awareness of the importance of breast health.

Awareness helps to save lives – please play your part.

Some helpful tips:

Step 1: Get organising!

Start by deciding on your event. Whether your event idea is big or small, at home, work, school or in your community, it’s your call. Make it something fun that you would want to take part in yourself. Depending on the size of the event, you may want to form an organising committee to share the workload.

Step 2: Register your event with us

Tell us about your plans by filling out an event proposal form so that we can provide you with the best support possible.

Step 3: Make your event happen

Once your event has been approved by us, it’s time to start working on the details. Finalise your date/time and (if applicable) book your venue. Work out how much your event is likely to cost (don’t forget to ask for goods and services to be donated; you’ll be amazed how many people really want to help you out) and how much you think you can realistically raise.

Work out a timeline for your event, listing all the jobs and tasks (such as publicity or insurance) you need to get done and when they need to be done by (advice: do not set deadlines for the day before the event!). Share the jobs among all the committee/event members and make sure people know what they have to do and when they have to do it by.

The Charities Institute of Ireland has created some great toolkits on Garda permits and insurance. Check out the legal requirements for your event. For example, do you need a Garda permit? Should you get event insurance?

Step 4: Lodge your funds raised

Once your event has finished, you can submit funds raised with your debit or credit card online or by phone, by sending a cheque through the post, or by lodging your funds directly into our bank account. It’s that simple – so get organising!
