FundRaising Standards Board

Eagle eyed members will notice a new logo on Take Heart literature and on the web site. This “tick” shows that Take Heart is now a member of the FundRaising Standards Board which is a self-regulatory body for fundraising in the UK. See www.frsb.org.uk

Membership indicates that Take Heart has signed up to the highest fundraising standards and must:

• Adhere to the Institute of Fundraising’s Code of Fundraising Practice
• Have procedures in place to deal with complaints
• Display the “tick” on fundraising materials

We consider that membership shows that your charity Take Heart is well-run and forward thinking. Most of the big national charities have become members. Look for the “tick” logo when you next see their adverts. Just as importantly surveys have shown that consumers are more likely to donate to a charity if they knew it was a member of the Fundraising Standards Board.

We hope that membership will continue to inspire the confidence of members and the public in Take Heart.
