Fundraising Law
Legal requirements and regulations that affect UK fundraising activities. Articles explain insurance, permits, codes of practice, and compliance for different fundraising methods.
Public Liability Insurance: Do I Need It?
Charity collectors face injury and damage claims from the public, so public liability insurance protects you from costly legal battles and compensation payouts.
Street Collecting: What Are the Rules?
You need a permit from your local council to collect money on the street for charity, and there are strict rules about where and how you can do it.
Temporary Event Notices: What Are They and Do I Need One?
Running a public event under 500 people with alcohol or entertainment needs a Temporary Event Notice to stay legal with your council.
The Institute of Fundraising Code of Practice: What It Means
The Institute of Fundraising Code of practise sets out legal requirements and best practise standards that charity fundraisers in the UK should follow.
