**The Fundraising Regulator has today (1 March) opened up its registration scheme
to charities in Northern Ireland following the extension of its regulatory remit
last year.**

Those spending above the £100,000 threshold on fundraising in Northern Ireland are
within the scope of the fundraising levy. The Regulator has contacted the 24 larger
charities in Northern Ireland believed to be within the levy to ask them to contribute
and register.

Charities registered with the Charity Commission Northern Ireland who have an annual
fundraising spend below £100,000 can now [register](https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/registration/how-to-register/)
with the [Fundraising Regulator](https://www.fundraisingregulator.org.uk/).

The Fundraising Regulator’s Public Register has also been updated to ensure that
charities in Northern Ireland that register will be listed. Over 3,000 registered
fundraising charities are currently on the register.

Walter Rader, Fundraising Regulator Board Member for Northern Ireland said:

> “Registration with the Fundraising Regulator is a great opportunity for charities
> and third parties in Northern Ireland to not only support regulation across the
> sector, but also to show their supporters that they are committed to honouring
> and protecting the standards set out in the Code of Fundraising Practice.”

Seamus McAleavey, Chief Executive of [NICVA](http://www.nicva.org/) said:

> “NICVA is pleased to be working with the Fundraising Regulator to promote good
> fundraising practice in Northern Ireland. We welcome the opportunity for charities
> in NI to register with the Fundraising Regulator. NICVA will itself register and
> will continue to work closely with the Fundraising Regulator and others to support
> and encourage best practice in fundraising here.”
