Possible implementation of Charities Act 2006 re statements by professional fundraisers and commercial participators

This is the expected date, as of mid-November 2007. Sandy Adirondack reports: "professional fundraisers will have to state the amount of remuneration they are receiving in connection with an appeal, and how the remuneration is decided. If that amount is not known at the time of the appeal, they will have to give as accurate an estimate as possible...

"Commercial participators will have to state the amount (or estimate, if the amount is not known at the time) from their charitable promotion that will be given to charities or used for charitable purposes."

[Subsequent lobbying by the Institute of Fundraising has resulted in the implementation date being pushed back to April 2008 - 22/11/2007]
