Charities Act 2016: New Fundraising Rules
On Tuesday 1st November 2016, new rules for charity fundraising came into effect. The new rules affect the trustees’ annual reports of larger charities that fundraise from the public, as well as the contents of the agreements that must be in place when professional fundraisers or other businesses (‘commercial participators’) raise money for charities. They will help charities to demonstrate their commitment to protecting donors and the public, including vulnerable people, from poor fundraising practices.
