Melanie May | 24 February 2020 | News
There is one month left to respond to the independent evaluation of the Fundraising Preference Service, commissioned by the Fundraising Regulator.
The Fundraising Regulator has commissioned Action Planning to conduct the review and is seeking the views of charities. Action Planning has released a questionnaire for charities, which closes at 9am on Monday 23 March.
According to the Fundraising Regulator, when the FPS was set up in 2017, it took the decision to review the entire service provision after it had been up and running for some time. After two and a half years of operation, the review will assess whether the FPS has met its original aims and is providing a good quality service that delivers value.
