More than 1,600 fundraisers and charity leaders joined our Are you code confident? webinar on 15 October to prepare for the new Code of Fundraising Practice ('the code'), which took effect on 1 November 2025.

The session included a short quiz on key rules and practical fundraising scenarios, examples of how to use our guidance, and a live Q&A. The high level of engagement reflected the strong commitment across the sector to understanding and applying the code in everyday fundraising.

This blog highlights five key takeaways from the session that illustrate how the code applies in practice. Each takeaway signposts to further detail in the code and code support guides.
