Testimonials

  • Dave Carter
    Charity Fraud Awareness Week is a highlight of our year. It gives us the opportunity to come together as a sector and to also engage with our global organisation. We generally hold multiple events in various locations, including townhall meetings, training and quizzes. The engagement we’ve had internally has been fantastic.

  • Caron Bradshaw
    With charity fraud becoming ever more sophisticated, the time to keep the risks uppermost in our minds is now. Many charities and their staff and volunteers are under increased economic pressure. With new financial reporting obligations on fraud now in effect, charities must be supported with fraud prevention and detection. Every organisation is susceptible, charities are not immune to the risks, but by raising awareness and sharing vital resources we can tackle fraud, together. We’re proud to support Charity Fraud Awareness Week and once again urge charities to take the Fraud Pledge.
