FRSB finds Tag breached fundraising code of practice

FRSB finds Tag breached fundraising code of practice: he Fundraising Standards Board has ruled that street fundraising company Tag breached the Institute of Fundraising code of fundraising practice for face-to-face activity and charity law while fundraising on behalf of Marie Curie Cancer Care in London this June.

In June, Tag was the subject of a Sunday Telegraph expos�which highlighted a number of poor face-to-face fundraising practices involved in its fundraising campaign for Marie Curie Cancer Care. This included street fundraisers not making disclosure statements to donors and deliberately confusing passers-by in order to engage in conversation; and Tag trainers telling trainees not to accept a ‘no’ response.
