How to edit or cancel an event

How to edit or cancel a givestar event as an organiser, and what happens to donations if an event is cancelled.

As an event organiser on givestar, you can edit your event details at any time. Here's how — and what to do if you need to cancel.

How to edit your event

  1. Log in to givestar.io and go to Your Events

  2. Select the event you want to edit

  3. Click Edit Event

  4. Update the relevant details — name, description, date, banner image, or charity

  5. Click Save

Changes take effect immediately. Participants will see the updated event details on their fundraising pages.

How to cancel an event

Event cancellation is handled by our support team to ensure donations and participant pages are managed correctly. To cancel an event:

  1. Email support@givestar.io with your event name and the reason for cancellation

  2. Let us know whether you'd like participant fundraising pages to remain active (so donors can still give) or be closed

  3. Confirm what should happen to any funds already raised — these can still be paid out to the charity as normal

What happens to donations if an event is cancelled?

All donations already made are safe and will be paid out to the relevant charities through the normal settlement process. givestar does not issue refunds on donations unless in exceptional circumstances — if you have a specific situation, contact us and we'll advise.
