8. Fundraising and volunteering

  1. 8.1.1.  World class research relies on world class fundraising and much of our fundraising is strengthened by the presence and collaboration of our scientists. CR-UK expects Grantholders and Research Personnel to contribute as much as possible. Contribution could be by hosting lab tours, speaking at fundraising events, volunteering at national events like Race for Life or actively participating in events. Find out more how you can volunteer and participate in events.
  2. 8.1.2.  Fundraisers may use your work as examples for our supporters - to demonstrate the impact of funds raised. That may mean we will use our researchers’ images and ask for help with quotes, copy etc. Further to this, we may use specific projects from our research portfolio to generate donations and then ring fence those gifts to those projects. Donations generated using this method are not extra funds on top of the agreed budget allocated to the Grantholder or Research Personnel concerned.
  3. 8.1.3.  The public activity described in 8.1.2 can sometimes generate publicity. Where possible CR-UK will contact you to make you aware of this beforehand, however, this is something that cannot always be foreseen.
