LSESU is a UK registered charity so we have to follow certain legislation. It is against the law for charities to donate money directly to other charities.
As a UK registered charity LSESU is subject to the legislation contained in the Charities Acts. As part of LSESU, our Clubs and Societies are also subject to the same legislation. This means money or resources cannot be donated from your Club or Society account.
If you wish to fundraise, you'll need to ensure the money is being donated directly to the charity. To do this, you can set up QR codes that link to a charity's website, or to a JustGiving page.
If you have any costs associated with fundraising, these unfortunately can not be reimbursed from your society account due to Charity Law.
The SU does not have any card readers that they're able to lend to societies, and we're unable to process any cash.
The charity that you raise money for must have a UK Registered Charity Number with the Charity Commission.
If you do wish to fundraise, please contact su.societies@lse.ac.uk so that we can support you from the start!
