Code of Fundraising Practice Registered

The code aims to: 

• promote a consistent, high standard of fundraising;
• make sure charitable institutions, their governing bodies and fundraisers know what is expected of them;
• set out the standards when considering complaints;
• provide a benchmark for organisations and fundraisers to assess their practices against so they can identify necessary training and monitor and set policy priorities for their fundraising; and 
• develop a culture of honesty, openness and respect between fundraisers and the public.

The following four values support all standards in the code. 

Legal: All fundraising must meet the requirements of the law.

Open: Fundraisers must be open with the public about their processes and must be willing to explain (where appropriate) if they are asked for more information.

Honest: Fundraisers must act with integrity and must not mislead the public about the cause they are fundraising for or the way a donation will be used. 

Respectful: Fundraisers must demonstrate respect whenever they have contact with any member of the public.

By registering donors and supporters will know that Home Run Hounds is an charity you can trust and have confidence in  -  our fundraising is legal, open, honest and respectful.
