**The Institute of Fundraising Northern Ireland is inviting expressions of interest
to receive free consultancy time to help them audit, review and plan for fundraising
code compliance.**

Funded by the Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland 5 days consultancy is available
to work with two medium to large charities to help them understand the requirements
for Fundraising Code compliance and put them in a strong and leading position with
regards to self-regulation of fundraising activity.

Organisations based in Northern Ireland interested in this work should express an
interest by email to No*************@**************************rg.uk by midnight
30 September 2017.

Speaking about the project, Chairperson of IOF NI, Neil Irwin said:

“This is a great opportunity for two charities to get support in an area important
to maintain trust and confidence in fundraising and regulation. The idea if for 
two organisations to come forward to work with IOF NI to better understand the requirements
of the fundraising code and get support to achieve compliance.”

“With the announcement from NICVA that the Fundraising Regulator should extend to
Northern Ireland this is an important initiative to help the whole sector understand
the resources and requirements needed to meet a new regulation regime.”

The programme aims to work sympathetically with organisations to promote key principles
and behaviours and develop practice in line with policy in areas such as cash handling,
direct marketing, trusts, events, working with volunteers, raffles/lotteries etc.

IOF Northern Ireland will soon be launching a helpline and email enquiry service
to help the sector with Fundraising Code compliance and has announced a ‘roadshow’
of workshops to promote awareness of the fundraising code. They will also be adapting
the IOF Trustees Guide to a Northern Ireland audience.

In the meantime if you have any queries please contact No*************@**************************
