Raising the Standards of Fundraising in N Ireland & impact of GDPR

Alongside information on Fundraising Regulation Neil Irwin will outline the impacy of GDPR on the Code and its potential impact on fundraising - reviewing some of the most recent guidance and developments and considering the priority actions for the 25th May and beyond.

The purpose of this project is to develop best practice standards and compliance with self regulation in fundraising across the charity sector in Northern Ireland. This workshop will provide guidance and support to charities to understand implications of fundraising self regulation and grow best practice with trustees, staff and volunteers and essentially those who benefit from charity services such as supporters, donors and funders of charities.

Funded by the Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland this is the last in a series of 9 workshops across Northern Ireland and offers charities the opportunity to understand the requirements for Fundraising Code compliance with regards to self-regulation of fundraising activity.

Speaking about the project, Chairperson of IOF NI, Neil Irwin said

"This is a great opportunity for charities right across Northern Ireland to raise their awareness in fundraising and regulation. Any groups involved in fundraising will become more aware of their responsibilities as regards fundraising and the requirements of the new funding regulations."

The workshop will use the Good Practice in Fundraising Guide (Northern Ireland) to support the development of self‐regulation in line with developing policy and practice in the rest of the UK"

Participants from all charities across Northern Ireland will get the chance to learn about developing their fundraising best practice and compliance with legal obligations as well as benefitting from being more aware of the legal and reputational risks to fundraising practice and understand better their responsibilities.

This is a free session and numbers are limited for this event so early booking is advisable
