The board advises the public to check for a 'tick' logo
A new self-regulatory body has been launched in the UK to handle complaints about charities' fund-raising.

Members of the public unhappy with a charity's money-raising activities will now be able to complain to the Funding Standards Board.

The board will also give a 'mark of reassurance' to charities which sign up to a code of practice, so donors know they operate in an honest and fair way.

Shelter, Barnardos and the RSPCA are among 200 charities to have joined."
