Code of Fundraising Practice Guides

As part of the launch of the new Code of Fundraising Practice, we’ve published three code support guides to help fundraising organisations apply the code in practice. These guides can be used alongside the code and they focus on areas that fundraisers have told us can be complex or high-risk: documenting decisions, due diligence, and monitoring fundraising partnerships.

Read our blog from our Head of Policy, Paul Winyard, for more details about what each code support guide offers.

New Advice for Retailers – Charitable Cash Collections

We’ve recently published new advice for retailers, such as supermarkets, who carry out charitable cash collections on their premises. Retailers play an important role in supporting charitable causes through providing a space for charitable collections in their stores. However, it is important that everyone involved meets certain standards to make sure fundraising occurs in a safe and secure way, so that any money raised reaches its intended purpose. You can read our blog explaining more about why we’ve published this guidance and what it covers from our Head of Proactive Regulation, Jim Tebbett.
