The Fundraising Regulator recently published its Complaints Report, which shares insights into the broad trends of fundraising complaints in the UK from April 2020 to March 2021.

The 7th October 2021 is Charity Gift Aid Awareness Day, a campaign that aims to reduce unclaimed and mis-claimed Gift Aid across the sector. To mark this day, we've put together a run down of what Gift Aid is, and how to make the most of it legally.
