ICSA launches Code of Charity Retailing
29, July, 2010
As an important part of the ICSA Strategy, the Association has
developed the Code of Charity Retailing. The code is a big step for
the Association and will give us a stronger voice. We will be
setting our own standards and have control over our own regulation.
The Code will apply to member charities from January 2011.
Introduction to the Code
This Code sets out the good practice members of the
Association are required to observe (must) as well as outlining
additional good practice that is advised but optional
(should).
This Code may be amended from time to time to take account, for
example, of legislative changes during the year.
The aims of the Code are:
- To promote good practice and high standards in charity
retailing
- To promote public confidence in and support for charity
shops
- To increase donations to charity shops, both straight into
shops and through house-to-house collections.
- To get positive publicity for charity shops
- To promote awareness of legitimate charity shops and to help
stamp out dishonest and bogus activities
