Mick Aldridge has stepped down as Chief Executive of the Public Fundraising Regulatory
Association (PFRA), the self-regulatory body for all forms of face-to-face (F2F)
fundraising activity conducted in public spaces by charities and good causes in 
the UK. He stepped down three weeks ago on 30 September but the move has only just
been announced.

He took over as CEO in April 2006, having started work in the fundraising sector
at Pell and Bales in 1992.

After helping ensure that the 2006 Charities Act referred to the right of charities
to undertake face-to-face fundraising, Aldridge built firm relationships between
the PFRA and a range of stakeholders in and out of the charity sector including 
the Fundraising Standards Board, the Association of Town Centre Management and the
Trading Standards Institute.

In 2010 Aldridge was voted the ‘most influential person in fundraising’ by readers
of Fundraising magazine, having been in the top 10 for the previous four years.
