Charities and Benevolent Fundraising (Scotland) Regulations 2009
The Charities and Benevolent Fundraising (Scotland) Regulations 2009 will come into force on 1 July 2009. They govern the way in which volunteers, charity employees, professional fundraisers and commercial businesses fundraise on behalf of benevolent bodies (including charities) or for general benevolent purposes. The key issues addressed by the Regulations are:
- the requirement for formal fundraising agreements between benevolent bodies and some types of fundraiser;
- the information which must be provided to potential donors when funds are being sought for benevolent bodies;
- the conditions attached to donors' rights to a refund of their donations; and
- the prevention of unauthorised fundraising.
Web-based guidance will be issued shortly at http://www.oscr.org.uk/.
The Regulations are the first in a series relating to fundraising. It is anticipated that the Scottish Government will consult on regulations relating to public benevolent collections (the collection of money or promises of money in public places or door-to-door) and the collection of goods later in 2009.
