What’s Changed in the New Code?
Here are some of the key improvements you’ll learn more about during the session:
A principles-based approach: The new code focuses on overarching principles, allowing organisations to apply high standards consistently across all types of fundraising activities.
Simpler and clearer: The updated code is shorter, easier to understand, and better signposted—making it more accessible, especially for smaller charities or those new to fundraising.
Better protection for fundraisers: New requirements mean organisations must take reasonable steps to protect fundraisers from harm or harassment, and ensure they feel supported and able to report concerns.
