Work charity cycle

[rossgalway]

Hi, I have been asked to organise a charity cycle for my work colleagues. Can I create a workplace cycling group and affiliate my workplace to the ctc for £75? I assume this will give organisers insurance for the event but what about my colleagues that are cycling that don't have insurance? Are they covered or do they have to join the ctc? Is there an option for a day licence? Thanks. Ross

I would start with your employer. They may already carry insurance that will cover events organised on behalf of the company. I used to help organsie a work-based club that went on various charity rides. Although we never created our own events, we did investigate it once, and I was assured that the company insurance would cover it as long as all of the particpants were employees. However, my company had an on-site gym, golf club, and football team, so there were already some activities insured. If your company doesn't have anything like that they may be less likely to have existing insurance.
