The Code of Fundraising Practice (the code) sets out the responsibilities that apply to fundraising carried out by charitable institutions and third-party fundraisers in the UK.
The code aims to:
promote a consistent, high standard of fundraising;
make sure charitable institutions, their governing bodies and fundraisers know what is expected of them;
set out the standards we use when considering complaints;
provide a benchmark for organisations and fundraisers to assess their practices against so they can identify necessary training and monitor and set policy priorities for their fundraising; and
develop a culture of honesty, openness and respect between fundraisers and the public.
