BCM & Locality: Running your community activity - your checklist
Location
Online event
For successful Celebrating Communities Fund applicants
About this event
'Running your community activity - your checklist' is open to any group across Birmingham that was successful in receiving a Celebrating Communities grant in Round 1 & 2.
If your community organisation has been successful in securing Celebrating Communities grant funding to be part of the Commonwealth Games Festival: congratulations!
This session will give an overview of things that you will need to put in place to make sure that your event runs smoothly. By attending you will get a useful printable checklist, and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions about your specific project.

We will be updating the Celebrating Communities pages on our website to include short videos, printable checklists, useful templates and sources of information on:
- Keeping people safe - this will cover completion of risk assessments, safeguarding, food hygiene, health and safety considerations, insurance.
- Involving volunteers in your community event - this will cover how to get people involved, communicate, and manage people that might be involved in your event.
- Monitoring and showing the impact of your activity - this will cover simple ways to collect information to show the impact of your activity and how your project meets the aims of the Celebrating Communities Fund.
