Face to face fundraising in the street might be controversial to some people, but
it raises significant sums, so its reputation and regulation are important issues.
For this reason Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) has called a seminar for interested
parties.
CAF is calling on charities to take

self-regulation seriously and so sustain the public’s current confidence in what
charities do and how they behave.

Following publication of the Buse report on fundraising and self-regulation,

CAF will bring together fundraisers, charity chief executives, the Charity Commission
and government officials in an event that aims to map out a way forward on this 
difficult area.

The seminar will include contributions from Rodney Buse on the recommendations in
his report; and Lindsay Boswell, Chief Executive of the Institute of Fundraising,
who will set out the issues now facing charity fundraisers; and CAF’s Chief Executive
Stephen Ainger, on transparency in

the sector.

The seminar offers delegates the opportunity to address some of the crucial

concerns surrounding self-regulation, and have their say on the future of

fundraising.

The seminar will take place on 7 May 2004 at the Congress Centre, 23-28 Great Russell
Street, London WC1B 3LS.

Tickets for “Fundraising and Self-Regulation: The Way Forward” are priced at £30
+ VAT.
