Thank you for visiting the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association's microsite.

The PFRA is the charity-led self-regulatory membership body for all types of face-to-face fundraising (F2F). Face-to-face fundraising is the personal solicitation (almost always by a professional fundraiser) of a regular charity donation via a direct debit, sometimes rather disparagingly known as 'chugging' and fundraisers as 'chuggers'.

Now in our 10th year, PFRA has as dual role as a regulator in being the bridge between councils and charities practising F2F: maintaining professional standards and ensuring fair allocation of fundraising on the ground.

This site provides top level information regarding:

• The regulatory regime governing F2F fundraising
• Best practice requirements
• Fact and figures about F2F fundraising.

We have gone into this in some depth under the various tabs (although there is much more detail on our own website – www.pfra.org.uk) and distilled this in to bite-sized chunks in the Researcher's Toolkit.

We hope this site proves useful to you.

If you want to discuss any aspect of the PFRA's role in self-regulating F2F fundraising, or you have some suggestions about how this website could be more useful to you, please contact:
