The Institute of Fundraising’s Legal Review Committee has updated four Codes of 
Fundraising Practice to ensure they continue to meet current legislation.

As a result revised Codes on Data Protection, Management of Static Collection Boxes,
Raffles and Lotteries and Telephone Fundraising have been issued.

The Raffles and Lotteries Code of Fundraising Practice has seen the most revision
to reflect the introduction of the Gambling Act 2005. The Code highlights changes
such as the removal of a maximum ticket price for lotteries, and also takes into
account changes to the licensing of lotteries.

In addition the Code now notes that licenses for society lotteries can now be obtained
from a charity’s local authority or Gambling Commission, and that there are also
licences for external lottery managers and remote-lotteries.

The Institute has established 29 Codes of Fundraising Practice, representing the
best practice standards set for fundraisers in the UK. Each Code covers a separate
fundraising technique and provides not only information on relevant areas of the
law but also the best practice that the fundraising sector has set itself to ensure
the highest standards.
