of the Fundraising Regulator among the public and the levels of awareness of the
Fundraising Badge.

The board were updated on equality, diversity and inclusion, notably the very
positive feedback from the independent company who were commissioned to review
the progress made against the EDI strategy. The review which focused on HR

The board accepted the management accounts and discussed the progress of the
Fundraising Levy collection. The board noted that the collection of the levy has
been successful and that the number of charities yet to pay is relatively small.

The board discussed current high-risk cases and noted that there are currently a
number of particularly complex cases in the casework team. The board also
discussed how to ensure that staff in the casework team are adequately supported
when dealing with challenging complainants.

City Road, London, EC1V 1AW and expressed a hope to be able to have the next
