The Fundraising Regulator is the independent regulator of charitable fundraising in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

They do this by:

• setting, maintaining and promoting the standards for fundraising in the Code of Fundraising Practice (the code). From 1 November 2025, fundraising regulation in the UK is evolving to reflect modern fundraising practices. The new Code of Fundraising Practice, and accompanying support guides are now available, offering a clearer, more adaptable approach to fundraising regulation.
• Investigating complaints about fundraising.
• maintaining a public Fundraising Directory of all fundraising organisations that have registered with them.
• maintaining the  Fundraising Preference Service (FPS).
