To make sure everyone has a great time, we’ve put together a few simple guidelines to keep things safe, respectful, and fun for all. Check out our events code of conduct to see more on this.

Before you check out, a booking fee will be applied. The service charge you encounter is applied by our third-party registration platform, Njuko GB Ltd., not by our charity directly. This fee helps cover their processing and operational costs associated with them managing our online bookings – similar to the booking fees commonly applied when purchasing theatre or concert tickets. The amount you’ll be charged is approximately 2.6% of the event registration fee, it varies slightly depending on how the event needs to be set up in the system in order to take registrations efficiently. Your entry fee then helps us cover some of the costs associated with putting on events like these and as a charity we rely on individuals fundraising or making a further donation which we can put towards our research, to help save and change the lives of children and babies.
