WHO WE REGULATE


SCOPE OF OUR REGULATION

We regulate all fundraising in England, Wales and Northern Ireland carried out
by charitable institutions and third-party fundraisers. This includes:

 * charities registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales and
   the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland
 * exempt charities (for example, universities in England)
 * other organisations with entirely or predominantly charitable, philanthropic
   and benevolent objectives (for example, community interest companies)
 * commercial agencies and other organisations employed by charities to raise
   funds for them; and
 * online fundraising platforms.

Where fundraising is carried out in aid of an organisation, but without the
organisation's permission, we will assess on a case-by-case basis whether any
responsibility can reasonably be assigned to the charity in respect of the
activity concerned.


ENFORCEMENT

We do not have statutory powers to sanction fundraising organisations if they
are found to be non-compliant with the Code of Fundraising Practice. However,
where we investigate and make recommendations for improvement in fundraising
practice, there is a high level of compliance with our decisions. This
demonstrates the sector’s willingness to improve and that a voluntary model of
regulation is working.


FUNDRAISING REGULATION IN SCOTLAND

Fundraising self-regulation in Scotland is different to the system in place in
England, Wales and Northern Ireland. 

 * Fundraising by charities only registered in Scotland with the Scottish
   Charity Regulator (OSCR) is subject to adjudication by the Scottish
   Fundraising Adjudication Panel. 
 * Fundraising in Scotland by charities where the lead regulator is the Charity
   Commission for England and Wales or Northern Ireland, is regulated by the
   Fundraising Regulator. 

However, the Code of Fundraising Practice applies across all four countries in
the UK.
