· We adhere to the Fundraising Code of Conduct.
· We do all we can to monitor and ensure that fundraisers, volunteers and fundraising third parties working with us to raise funds, also comply with the Code of Fundraising Practice.

· We will tell the truth and will not exaggerate.
· We will do what we say we are going to do with the donations we receive.
· We will be clear about who we are and what we do.
