Fundraising Regulator launches Have Your Say FPS consultation
Melanie May | 15 March 2017 | News
The Fundraising Regulator is now seeking views on the development of the Fundraising Preference Service.
The first question in the Have Your Say consultation is open for responses, and asks for feedback on what the service should be called, with consultees asked to choose from the below suggested names:
- Charity Contact Service
- Fundraising Preference Service
- Control Your Communications
The Regulator is seeking feedback from charities, sector professionals and members of the public in the consultation, which offers the opportunity to respond on different elements of the FPS’s development, ranging from appearance to function.
Those interested in the consultation are asked to register online.
Gerald Oppenheim, the Regulator’s head of policy and communications, said:
“This consultation is an exciting milestone in our development of the service. It will play a crucial role in enabling individuals to have more control over their communications and to rebuild the trust between the public and charities.”

The service is due to launch in early summer and will give individuals the option of opt-outing of direct marketing communications from named charities. This will include communications by phone, email, text and direct mail. Members of the public will be able to register both online and via telephone.
