The Fundraising Regulator (FR) has updated the code of practice to incorporate changes in six key areas. The code of fundraising practice and its associated Rulebooks for Street and Door Fundraising outline the standards expected of all charitable fundraising organisations across the UK.
The changes affect charity trustees and their understanding of:
- the applicable fundraising guidance
- the fundraising ask
- solicitation statements
- whistleblowing
- charity collection bags and
- fundraising agreements.
All the changes come into effect between July and November 2017. A list of the detailed changes and their respective timeframes can be found on the FR website.
