Codes of Practice Implementation Group
The final Feasibility Report published in May 2008 sets out a scheme to develop Codes of Good Practice on the operational and administrative aspects of fundraising by charities and also makes recommendations on bringing this scheme into operation. This includes the setting up of an Implementation Group made up of representatives of the charities sector and the relevant statutory agencies with an independent input to represent donors and also that the Implementation Group should draw on support from professionals specialising in this area (e.g. fundraisers, accounting and legal). Learn about the research that led to the feasibility report.
At the invitation of the Department of Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, ICTR has been asked to bring the proposed scheme into operation and is now pleased to announce that the Implementation Group members have been selected and the group has had its first meeting on September 8th 2009.
