Frequently asked questions
- Why do you charge for some events?
The King's Fund is an independent charitable organisation working to improve health and care in England. Our events are a key source of income, and this income enables us to continue with our charitable objectives.
The cost of running a virtual conference is similar to that of a physical event. Although a virtual conference has fewer room hire and catering costs, in order to produce a high-quality event, we still need to pay the costs for the technical supplier, support and developing the platform. With some sessions taking place in our building, we do have to cover some venue costs. We also have a team of dedicated events professionals, content experts, digital, marketing and finance support that work on these events.
Any profit that is made from these events goes directly towards achieving our strategic priorities. You can find out more about how we are funded here.
- Can I pay by invoice?
Yes. Please select your tickets and once you're through to the registration form on Eventbrite, you can amend the 'payment method' from credit card to 'pay by invoice'.
Please note, there is a £20 + VAT surcharge to cover the cost of processing invoices. This is in addition to the ticket price and will be added to your invoice. There is no charge for paying by debit or credit card.
- Do you offer bursary tickets for your conferences?
We offer a limited number of bursary places for people with lived experience to ensure a balance of voices in the room. To apply for a bursary place please email us a short paragraph explaining why you wish to attend.
- Do you offer groups discounts?
We offer a group booking discount against full priced tickets if booked through the same order, for three or more delegates of the same organisation. Please email us at events@kingsfund.org.uk to take advantage of this offer.
- 3-4 delegates: 10%
- 5-6 delegates: 15%
- 7+ delegates: 20%
- What's the refund policy?
Cancellations confirmed in writing more than 14 days before the first live session will be refunded in full via the same payment method. We regret that no refund can be made after that date, however, if you contact us before the event start, we can offer a transfer of your ticket to another event taking place in the following six months. Please email us at events@kingsfund.org.uk with confirmation of your original booking to cancel or transfer your ticket. On completion of the confirmed booking the delegate and their supporting organisation are liable for the fees for the event (regardless of whether payment has been made).
- What if I have accessibility requirements?
If you have other accessibility requirements you would like to discuss, please email us at events@kingsfund.org.uk. We will also ask you for this information during the registration process.
