Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Trumpington (Conservative). It was answered by Baroness Crawley (Labour) on Wednesday, 8 July 2009.
Charities: Appeals
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they will take to prevent charities from sending cash through the post with appeal letters.
- Answer
-
My Lords, during this difficult time the Government are supporting the third sector’s work in promoting best practice through the Institute of Fundraising’s codes and self-regulation through the Fundraising Standards Board. The Codes of Fundraising Practice outlaws members from using direct mail enclosures, such as coins, that generate a guilt response. If self-regulation should fail, the Charities Act 2006 contains a reserve power for government to intervene.
