New: Face-to-Face Fundraising Guidance 2025

We are pleased to publish new guidance aimed at strengthening best practice and accountability in face-to-face fundraising across the sector.

Responding to sector challenges and evolving fundraising practices, and in the wake of the Fundraising Regulator’s Market Inquiry into sub-contracting in face-to-face fundraising, the guidance sets out clear expectations for charities and fundraising agencies, with new sections covering sub-contracting arrangements, safeguarding of fundraisers, transparent job advertising and robust due diligence.
