Over 400 charities have now joined the Fundraising Standards Board, eight weeks 
after the scheme was launched to the public.
Jon Scourse, Chief Executive of the
Fundraising Standards Board, said: “We now have 420 members including 70 from Scotland.
All of the top 20 UK-wide charities have either joined or are in the process of 
doing do. And our membership now represents over 25% of all voluntary giving in 
the UK.

He added: “But it is just as important that smaller charities and organisations 
sign up to high standards in fundraising. Our small charities projects in Hull, 
West Kent and Fife are doing a fantastic job of encouraging locally based organisations
to join.”

Of the current membership of 420, 340 are based in England, 68 in Scotland and 12
in Wales. Nearly two thirds of the members are charities with less than £1 million
voluntary income per annum; over one in five are charities raising between £1 million
and £10 million; and 13% raise more than £10 million voluntary income annually.

Scourse said that the next stage of the self-regulatory body’s recruitment campaign
would focus on medium-sized organisations and would begin later this year.

He encouraged other charities to join the scheme. “It is vital to the success of
the self-regulatory scheme that it has strength in depth and that the whole of the
sector is seen to back it,” he said.
