Together We Lift Fundraising Transparency Policy

Effective Date: 01.05.2026

Together We Lift is committed to operating with honesty, transparency, and long-term community impact.

As a community-led mental health and strength initiative, we believe it is important for supporters, participants, charities, gyms, sponsors, and partners to understand how fundraising is managed across our events and activities.

1. Our Commitment

Together We Lift exists to raise awareness for mental health while supporting local charities, community organisations, and inclusive strength communities through sustainable, community-driven events.

We are committed to:

  • Operating transparently and responsibly

  • Clearly communicating how funds are managed

  • Supporting long-term impact within local communities

  • Maintaining the sustainability of the Together We Lift initiative

2. How Donations Are Managed

Together We Lift uses Zeffy to help manage fundraising and donations connected to events and campaigns.

Funds raised through Zeffy are paid directly into the official Together We Lift C.I.C Community Business Bank Account.

These funds are then allocated in accordance with the purpose of each event, fundraiser, or initiative.

3. Event Profits & Charity Contributions

For Together We Lift events, we aim to donate all profits generated from event ticket sales within that event’s local area to:

  • Registered charities

  • Local community interest companies (C.I.Cs)

  • Community-focused mental health organisations

The supported organisation for each event will be clearly communicated through event promotions, ticketing information, and post-event reporting where possible.

4. Event Costs & Sustainability

Together We Lift is committed to building a sustainable initiative that can continue supporting communities long term.

While we aim to maximise charitable contributions wherever possible, some operational costs are necessary to safely and effectively deliver events and maintain the wider initiative.

These costs may include:

  • Website hosting and maintenance

  • Event equipment and logistics

  • Insurance and compliance

  • Promotional materials and awareness campaigns

  • Expo and community outreach costs

  • Event management systems and administration

  • Marketing and educational resources

By maintaining sustainable operations, Together We Lift can continue expanding its reach, supporting more communities, and delivering future events across the UK.

5. Donation Timeframes

Together We Lift aims to distribute event profit donations within approximately 6 to 9 months following an event.

This timeframe allows for:

  • Completion of event accounting and reconciliation

  • Processing of outstanding fundraising contributions

  • Responsible financial planning across ongoing community operations

  • Accurate reporting and allocation of event-related funds

We believe this approach supports both financial responsibility and the long-term sustainability of the initiative.

6. Transparency & Accountability

Where possible, Together We Lift aims to publicly share:

  • Event fundraising totals

  • Supported charities or organisations

  • Community impact updates

  • Partnership announcements

  • Event outcomes and milestones

We are committed to continually improving our reporting and transparency as the initiative grows.

7. Questions About Fundraising

We welcome questions regarding our fundraising practices, community partnerships, or financial transparency.
