The new Code of Fundraising Practice has been launched and according the the Fundraising Regulator:
- It has been streamlined to make it easier to understand, with 45% fewer words.
- Existing public protections remain in place, with improved adaptability to new legislation, technology and fundraising methods.
- A six-month transition period (May-November 2025) gives you time to review your processes and implement necessary changes.
- Any complaints about fundraising activity before 1 November will be considered under the current 2019 Code.
