We are a member of the Fundraising Regulator and comply with its recommendations.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO HIGH STANDARDS
- We do all we can to ensure that, when seeking to raise funds, we comply with the Fundraising Regulator’s code and with this promise.

WE ARE HONEST AND OPEN
- We tell the truth and do not exaggerate.

WE ARE CLEAR
- We are clear about who we are, what we do and how your gift is used.
- We give a clear explanation of how you can make a gift and amend a regular commitment.

- We will not put undue pressure on you to make a gift, and if you do not want to give or wish to cease giving we shall respect your decision.

WE ARE ACCOUNTABLE
- If you are unhappy with anything we’ve done whilst fundraising, you can contact us to make a complaint.
- We have a complaints procedure, a copy of which is available on this website or separately on request.
