From 1 November 2025, fundraising regulation in the UK will change to reflect modern fundraising practices.
The Fundraising Regulator has created support materials to help fundraising organisations understand and prepare for the changes.
To help fundraisers get ready for the new code, the Fundraising Regulator is publishing a series of practical guides. Three new guides are now available on:
Each guide offers practical advice and tips for meeting the new code, with links to relevant code rules and examples of good practice. The guides are advisory and should be used alongside the code when it comes into force later this year.
All fundraising organisations are encouraged to:
-
review the updated code
-
read the accompanying support guides
-
begin planning now to ensure compliance by the deadline
You can find the full updated code, support guides and further information on the Fundraising Regulator’s website: Code of Fundraising Practice 2025.
