The Government is collaborating with the charity sector to develop a voluntary code to improve the transparency of the use of charitable donations during natural disasters. The Transparency Code will provide charities which choose to become signatories with a framework for transparent reporting of disaster recovery fundraising and activities.
A working group of charity representatives and Treasury officials has developed a consultation paper which identifies five potential features of the Transparency Code which it considers will be key to ensuring the Code is a workable and effective solution to improving transparency. The consultation paper seeks views from charities and the general public on these features.
