The Etherington Review into the behaviour of UK Charities recommended the development and use of a Fundraising Preference Service. There has been debate about the impact this will have on charities. An existing solution remains as potentially the very best solution to adopt, as it is already in place, used by charities and meets the basic premise of the FPS.

2. PART 2: A NEW APPROACH
TO FUNDRAISING REGULATION
THE CREATION OF A FUNDRAISING
PREFERENCE SERVICE
A key frustration of members of the public is
the lack of control over how and how many
times they are approached with fundraising
requests. The Review recommends that the
Fundraising Regulator establishes a
‘Fundraising Preference Service’ (FPS) where
individuals can register if they no longer wish
to be contacted for fundraising purposes. Any
organisation engaging in high volume
fundraising would have a responsibility to
check their contacts against this ‘suppression
list’ before the start of a campaign.
