Fundraising Regulator
We are committed to good fundraising practice! That is why we have registered with The Fundraising Regulator. The Code of Fundraising Practice sets the standards that apply to fundraising carried out by all charitable institutions and third party fundraisers in the UK. Look out for our FR badge on our website, newsletters and printed materials. It will help us build trust amongst supporters and donors by providing a visible demonstration that we take our fundraising practices very seriously.
Help4Nam have been registered since March 2022.
