Regulator actions
The Fundraising Regulator investigated Anaphylaxis UK following a complaint that donations raised for a family memorial fund were used for the charity's general objectives rather than the specific purpose implied to donors. The regulator found that the charity breached the Code of Fundraising Practice by failing to provide volunteers with appropriate information, not using donations for the purpose they were given, and failing to treat donors fairly. The investigation concluded that while the charity did not intentionally mislead, it breached standards related to misleading information, restricted funds, and on-behalf-of volunteer fundraising.
