**The Fundraising Regulator in the UK has appointed its first representative for
Northern Ireland.**

Walter Rader OBE was appointed last month and has over 40 years experience across
a range of public, voluntary and community sector organisations, including appointments
as director, chief executive and accounting officer.

He was also recently on the [board of the Charity Commission NI](https://fundraising.co.uk/2013/05/21/minister-announces-charity-commission-appointments/),
and was Director of Big Lottery Fund in Northern Ireland. The Fundraising Regulator
and Charity Commission NI last year signed a memorandum of understanding for a working
relationship between the two bodies.
