Supporting Charity Fraud Awareness Week
Charity fraud is estimated to cost the UK as much as £2bn a year... Last year 800 cases were reported to the police. National Charity Fraud Awareness Week promotes fraud awareness and we are using the opportunity to review our own policies and procedures, to see if there's more we could do to protect ourselves from fraud.
Charity Fraud Awareness Week is led by the Charities Against Fraud partnership of over 40 charities, professional representative bodies and other not-for-profit stakeholders working together to combat fraud targeted against charities. This includes the Charity Commission, Fraud Advisory Panel, ICAEW, NCVO, Institute of Fundraising and the Foundation for Social Investment as well as charities such as Oxfam, Macmillan, British Council and Help for Heroes.
