When you hold an event to promote your community, you could be covered by Freegle's Insurance as long as you provide some basic information and follow some guidelines.   
When you hold an event to promote your Freegle community, we may be able to offer you some event insurance (decided on a case by case basis).   


===Getting covered by Insurance===
On an average day of running an online community, there is minimal risk of an insurance claim by or against you. The risks are increased when you run an event or deal with things face to face.


Please don't assume that everything you are doing as a volunteer is covered by the national insurance policy.  Of course, in the average day of running a community there is very little risk of an insurance claim by or against you.  But when you run an event or deal with things face to face the risks are increased so Freegle has Employers Liability and Public Liability cover. To use this you need to email insurance@ilovefreegle.org.  You will need to give at least 7 days notice of the event so that there is time to complete the process, but sooner than that would be better.

Events

When you hold an event to promote your Freegle community, we may be able to offer you some event insurance (decided on a case by case basis).

On an average day of running an online community, there is minimal risk of an insurance claim by or against you. The risks are increased when you run an event or deal with things face to face.

You need to email board@ilovefreegle.org, giving at least seven days' notice of your event so that there is time to complete the process. However, sooner than that would be preferrable.

The basic procedure for a community/volunteer is:

  • If you want cover for an event, email board@ilovefreegle.org to say so.
  • Please complete an information form [1] and risk assessment form [2]
  • Once the form and assessment are submitted, you will be sent a copy of the insurance policy and cover confirming that xxx event has been noted for the purposes of the policy and encourages use of spreadsheet for organising their event [3]
  • Once the event is over, feedback should be given to board@ilovefreegle.org

If this process is not carried out, the insurance cover for your event will not be guaranteed.

First aid cover is the responsibility of the volunteers, who, at a minimum, should make sure that people would know where to go in case of an incident and are given access to a phone and a chair.
