Our big news this month is we have published the new Code of Fundraising Practice (the code). This marks the end of our two year review to update the code and make sure it reflects evolving fundraising practices. The new code is a clearer, more streamlined and modern approach to fundraising regulation while ensuring existing public protections remain in place. You can read our blog from Suzanne McCarthy, Chair of our Standards Committee, on the changes the new code brings and how they promote public protection, accountability and excellence in fundraising.
There will be a six month transition period before the new code comes into effect on 1 November 2025. This will give you time to review your processes and implement any changes. You can find out more below about the steps you can take to start preparing for the new code, and the additional support and guidance available.
The new Code of Fundraising Practice has been published to reflect modern fundraising practices and will come into effect from 1 November 2025. The new code is available in both English and Welsh.
Fundraising organisations should review the new code and support guides on our website and begin preparing to ensure compliance.
