The leaflet includes information about how the Fundraising Preference Service works, as well as more detail about the Fundraising Regulator. The leaflet also provides an update on FPS sign ups, confirming that over 5,000 people have already used the service to prevent one or more charities from getting in touch with them by phone, mail, email or text.  ## Advertisement Stephen Dunmore, Chief Executive, Fundraising Regulator, said: > “We are excited to announce our first public campaign to promote the Fundraising > Preference Service.
