Law and Regulation

 Law and regulation
 
It is a widely acknowledged fact that the work of fundraisers is vital in helping organisations across the UK deliver benefit to the varied causes they support.

As highly visible and energetic ambassadors, fundraisers are at the forefront of building the public support and confidence that charities rely on to succeed.

But, if this confidence is eroded by publically unacceptable behaviors, dubious tactics or unclear processes then the actions of fundraisers can also fatally tarnish their charity’s reputation.

Reputation has a direct and major impact on the corporate well-being of every organisation, be it an international charity, national cause or local delivery organisation. That is why the professionalism of fundraisers is so important.

In this section you will find more guidance on legislation, self regulation and contracts and agreements, as well as links to bodies involved in the regulation of charitable activity.
