All Special Named Funds use the CCLG registered charity number.
As a member of the Fundraising Regulator, we have provided the following information to help ensure your fundraising is safe and legal and in line with our guidelines, as well as provide resources to maximise your fundraising.
When fundraising in aid of CCLG you must ensure the fundraising logo and registered charity number are displayed.
If you are waiting to receive some of the below resources, you can simply create your own sign using Microsoft Word (to display at your event) with the following line:
"Registered charity in England and Wales (1182637) and Scotland (SC049948)."
We welcome fundraising in the British Isles although aren't required to register for an additional charity number.
There are legal restrictions in collecting money in public places. Check out the Special Named Fund code of conduct is make sure that your fundraising is legal.
All fundraising buckets and collection pots should be labelled appropriately. These labels display the charity logo and registered charity number.
Fundraising buckets should be sealed with cable ties at all times. Collection pots should have unbroken security seals which can be provided by us.
If you would like custom labels showing your SNF's logo, please email specialnamedfunds@cclg.org.uk (production time 4-6 weeks).
Raffles are a great way to raise money, but they fall under the remit of gambling law so it is important to make sure your raffle complies with charity law.
Please read our raffle information page to find out whether you need our permission to hold the raffle you are planning.
You may choose to create your own posters, leaflets, event banners and social media posts to promote their amazing fundraising activities.
Please ensure you read our Special Named Funds design guidelines so that your fundraising is representing the charity to the best of its ability.
We can provide A4 awareness posters that you can display in your local community and A5 postcards, which include your story, to help raise awareness at your fundraising events. To request these, please email specialnamedfunds@cclg.org.uk (production time 4-6 weeks).
