Over 500 charities and voluntary sector organisations have now registered with the
Fundraising Standards Board.
Total membership now stands at 515, of which 499 are
charities and 16 are supplier members. Of the charities, 90% are English, 7% are
Scottish and 3% are Welsh. Together they represent about £2.35 billion, just over
25% of total charitable income.

The 500th member to register is the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability in South
West London. Adam Gallacher, RHN Donor Development Manager said: “It’s fantastic
that the RHN is the 500th member of this scheme as it recognises our own codes of
practice. Our residents have always known they can place their trust in us and this
symbol now acknowledges that our supporters can have that same confidence.”

Jon Scourse, Chief Executive of the Fundraising Standards Board, added: “The RHN
is a medium-sized charity and that is important because it illustrates that it is
not just the large organisations joining and that the scheme is reflecting the sector
as a whole.”
