Event Company Singapore: Be it trying to affect local change, raise funds or simply bring a group of people together, community events can be the best way to bring people together, albeit bringing its own pitfalls and challenges. People need to be informed, engaged and motivated; and like any event, attendee security and safety are paramount. Here are a few tips and tricks to organise community events to bring people together:

Protecting yourself

There can be increased liability with community events so make sure you can have the event that you have in mind. For one, you will often need special types of permits and insurance when dealing with the public and the liability that goes with it so do all of your research to keep completely protected. Also, request and create risk assessments for certain activities, e.g. those that involve risk, kids or fireworks. Ensure your paperwork is in order before the event, otherwise you could leave yourself liable. Do further health and safety checks on the day to make sure everything is operating as it should be. For larger events have a dedicated health and safety officer. event company Singapore

Creating your team

Find the specialists and ask their advice for the best deals in town or who to bring in for mobile catering options. The joy of communities is that you have a network of information to tap into. Also, get together a passionate team. The downside to community organising is that it can snowball and you’ll find yourself with too much work or many people to manage, so keep things tight knit and delegate what you can, within reason. After every meeting make sure that everyone is clear on their own specific actions and deadlines.

Plan with your community in mind

It’s important to remember the primary objective of a community event and that is usually to benefit the community, so aim for local sustainability and keep this in the forefront. Supplying from local businesses is for a local cause and you’re more likely to get excellent rates because the event will directly benefit them. Even better, see what they can contribute and provide. Consult with the community to find out what they actually want from the event and how could it be achieved. Think about how local schools, youth groups, churches, sports teams, local interest groups and activities can have a platform at the event.
