The Institute of Fundraising Trusts & Statutory Fundraisers Special Interest Group
has a [meeting ](http://www.institute-of-fundraising.org.uk/groups/sig-trusts-and-statutory/events/tssig-gdpr-for-trust-fundraisers/)
on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for Trust Fundraisers, in London
on Wednesday 30th Aug 2017. The GDPR will apply in the UK from 25 May 2018.

The scheduled speakers are Oliver Willis (solicitor working with charities on data
protection, Bircham Dyson Bell) and Kerry Rock (director, Prospecting for Gold).
Other speakers are still to be confirmed. The Information Commissioner’s Office (
[ICO](https://ico.org.uk/)) has said that public domain information is not fair 
game. If you hold any information on the trustees of grantmaking trusts, or other
people connected to the trusts, then they may be held to the same level of data 
protection compliance as regular donors. I shall be attending, so I get a better
idea what my obligations are with respect to trust fundraising and how researchers
and fundraisers can ensure we are fully data compliant.
