Fundraising Regulator
Wednesday 17 September 2025  |  10-11.30am  |  Online

Are you a volunteer fundraiser or do you support volunteer fundraisers in Northern Ireland?  Join the Fundraising Regulator as we explore the new Code of Fundraising and its implications for volunteers and for those who fundraise in Northern Ireland.  The new code comes into effect on 1 November so this is the perfect opportunity to ask the questions and understand the impact for both you as a volunteer-involving organisation and for your volunteers.
