Organising a public event

• Organising a voluntary event: a 'can do' guide - UK Government

• Basic health and safety - TCV

• Insurance - It’s not a legal requirement to have insurance at a voluntary or community event, but a landowner/venue may require it. This would be public liability insurance. It's not usually that expensive. This gives financial insurance if someones sues you. Markel offer insurance cover for community groups
