As a charity we must comply with the fundraising regulation from the Fundraising Regulator. The legislation says that all money that is raised in the charities name cannot be donated to another charity. In the past when you have had speakers to your group from another charity you have paid their expenses but recorded this as a donation. Please show this in your annual return as ‘speaker expenses’. A full copy of the regulations can be found at fundraisingregulator.org.uk/code/all-fundraising/responsibilities-charitable-institutions

Thank you for all your hard work during 2021, and don’t forget to send your bank statement to groupsadmin@macularsociety.org
