Making sure you create and deliver safe activities underpins what VCSE groups and organisations do. Whether you are running a community event, helping volunteers, or offering regular services, a straightforward approach to health and safety protects everyone involved, builds trust, and helps your activities run smoothly and legally.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides clear and practical advice to help you manage risks. Their resources cover topics like risk assessments, volunteering, community venues, sports clubs, and catering. Using these tools can help you feel confident that your work is both effective and safe for everyone.
