We will endeavour to give the delegate as much advance notice as possible of any such change via the attendee’s email address provided at time of booking. If the delegate is unable to attend training at the revised location or date, we will credit 100% of their course fees against a future course or, if requested, refund those fees.

In the event of cancellation, where an alternative cannot be provided in respect of a specific course, a full refund will be offered.

We cannot offer refunds for cancellations due to circumstances outside our control; including adverse weather conditions, transportation issues, major incidents or industrial action. We will not be liable for any other costs incurred including (for example) travel charges or any consequential damages, even if we were advised of these costs.

As the training may be cancelled up to 14 days prior to its start date, we recommend that attendees do not book travel arrangements before this time. Any travel or other costs incurred are entirely the attendee’s responsibility. Chartered Institute does not accept any liability for reimbursement of any costs incurred by attendees booked more than 2 weeks before a workshop date.

We are responsive to your requirements so if you have any special accessibility requirements please contact heritage@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk so that we can make reasonable adjustments to enable you to get the most from our training: prior notice of at least one week is required to enable us to cater for your needs.

Unless otherwise stated all scheduled Chartered Institute training include liquid refreshments and a light lunch. The attendee must inform the Heritage Project team by email at heritage@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk of any special dietary requirements. We cater for vegetarian, medically recommended and religious restrictive diets only. Please note the IoF use external providers for all catering purposes and do not accept liability for any failure to meet special dietary requirements.

While we endeavour to cater for a range of dietary requirements and are committed to ensuring the safety of our delegates who have any allergy to nuts, peanuts or seeds; we cannot guarantee that our food does not contain traces of nuts, peanuts or seeds. Although we ask our suppliers to ensure that any foods known to contain nuts/peanuts/seeds or their derivatives are suitably labeled, it is impossible to guarantee that products believed not to contain these are 100% free from peanuts/nuts/seeds. This is due to suppliers increasingly stating that products are not free from nut contamination due to possible airborne contamination. If your allergy is severe please be aware the food provided via our suppliers to other delegates may contain traces of nuts, peanuts or seeds. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact heritage@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk at least 1 week in advance of the training start date to allow for your needs to be catered for.

The Chartered Institute does not accept responsibility for attendees’ personal belongings or valuables, for example laptops or communications devices, brought to courses.  These remain the responsibility of the individual attendees.

The Chartered Institute reserves the right to remove any attendee from their training event should their behaviour be deemed inappropriate. In such event, no refund of fees or other costs will be made.

Once booked and on receipt of consultant contact details, it is your responsibility to contact the consultant directly to arrange a mutually suitable date and time.

Please note once booked you must avoid, wherever possible changing this appointment. If you really need to cancel you may cancel/ amend up to 14 whole days (2 weeks) prior to the agreed date and time. To do so please contact your chosen consultant (cc: heritage@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk). If you cancel or do not inform the consultant that you are unable to attend the appointment after this time, you will not be offered another session for the duration of the GTH programme.

The Giving to Heritage One-to-Ones are not a substitute for in-depth consultancy; they are designed to give participants in the programme limited access to expert advice to help identify potential solutions and next steps. Each session is restricted to one hour only to enable a short focused discussion to take place on a chosen topic. Any participating heritage organisation can apply for repeat sessions either with the same consultant (or another). Given the limited resources of the GTH programme to underwrite the cost of these sessions the number of sessions per organisation may be limited per organisation; the programme reserves the right to apply a cap based on need, availability of consultants and consideration of potential benefit on a case by case basis.
