EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Charitable Institutions (Fund-Raising) Regulations 1994 (-�the 1994 Regulations-�).

Regulation 7 of the 1994 Regulations regulates the raising of funds for charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes otherwise than by professional fund-raisers or commercial participators. Where a person to whom regulation 7 applies makes a representation to the effect that charitable contributions are to be applied for charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes, that representation must generally be accompanied by a statement satisfying the requirements specified in regulation 7(2) of the 1994 Regulations.

These Regulations amend, subject to savings, those requirements.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
