1.I understand that, in volunteering at a St John Ambulance Giant Collection (the collection), I am volunteering at my own risk as an independent supporter of St John Ambulance and will not seek to hold St John Ambulance, their employees, or their agents responsible for any injury, loss or harm resulting from me taking part. Any support that St John Ambulance may provide in organising the collection will not lead to St John Ambulance being liable for or having approved of any particular activity or any process involved in the collection.
2. I agree it is my responsibility to obtain and maintain appropriate insurance for volunteering at the collection, to cover risk of injury or death to myself.
3. I agree to comply with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines in relation to my fundraising activities, including the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice and the Charity Commission Guidelines for public and static collections.
