The Fundraising Regulator is an independent, non-statutory body that regulates fundraising across the charitable sector in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, working in partnership with other regulators and the representative bodies in the charitable and fundraising sectors to build public confidence and ensure consistent fundraising standards across the UK. Their vision is a world in which fundraising is ethical and giving is sustainable, and where donors and fundraisers have respect for each other.

The Fundraising Regulator achieves this by

  • setting and promoting the standards for fundraising (in the Code of Fundraising Practice) in consultation with the public, fundraising stakeholders and legislators
  • investigating complaints from the public about fundraising where these cannot be resolved by the charities themselves
  • investigating fundraising that has caused significant public concern
  • enabling people to manage their contact with charities using our Fundraising Preference Service, and
  • publishing a Fundraising Directory of all organisations who have registered with us to demonstrate their commitment to best practice fundraising.
