Third Sector News
Charities in Scotland and the OSCR are to take an enhanced role in the regulation of charity fundraising. This sees a break away from UK-wide arrangements, after an independent working group rejected the option of the Fundraising Regulator model. Furthermore, the working group has recommended to Scottish Government that regulation of cross-border charities uses a lead-agency model.
