The Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB) has launched a major recruitment drive in an effort to reach mid-year targets.  

The government has scrapped draft national guidance which advised local councils to avoid funding "single identity" groups which supported particular communities such as minority ethnic groups.

Atheist slogans have begun popping up on public transport around the UK in the second phase of the record-breaking Atheist Bus Campaign. The campaign, which in October broke the Justgiving record for the fastest-growing fundraising appeal in the site’s history, was originally intended to appear on 30 buses in London for a month. The provocative ads feature the slogan ‘There’s probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life’.
