Now Dundee Charities can show high standards...

The Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB) is today (Wednesday 16 April 2008) calling on more charities in Dundee and Angus to join the self regulation scheme for fundraising and follow the example set by the Brittle Bone Society, the Factory Skatepark and Capstone Projects.  These three organisations have all joined the FRSB, agreeing to be open and fair, honest and legal in how they go about asking for funds.

Charities that join must follow high standards in their fundraising and get to use the tick – the Fundraising Standards Board’s logo – as a mark of reassurance to the public.  The scheme also operates an independent complaints process through which members of the public can raise concerns about poor practice in charities’ fundraising activities.

Norman Forrest, a Director of the Factory Skatepark, said:

“The Factory relies on the generosity of a wide range of grant making trusts, individuals and businesses to support our work that gives young people the opportunity to engage in sport and leisure activities in a safe environment. It is vital that they know that they can trust how we go about asking for money and support.  Membership of the FRSB provides that trust and I would encourage other Dundee charities to get the tick. ”
