A new university-wide policy has been implemented; the Code of Ethical Fundraising & Donors’ Charter.
All staff who have any involvement in fundraising, dealing with corporate sponsors, negotiating with suppliers and other organisations, and managing relationships with external organisations should be aware of and adhere to this procedure.
To spread the word to staff about the Code the Alumni and Development Office will be holding four coffee mornings in December, open to all staff. These will include a short presentation from Claire House-Norman, Director of Development and Alumni Relations (as well as cake!) and staff will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the Code further with Claire and her team.
The coffee mornings will be held from 10.30am-11.30am on:
- 3rd December, 21 Lansdowne Rd
- 4th December, The Retreat, Talbot Campus
- 5th December, 21 Lansdowne Rd
- 6th December, The Retreat, Talbot Campus
If you would like to attend please register using the form at: https://bournemouthuniversity.wufoo.com/forms/k7p8r5/
The policy can be found the Policies and Procedures Section of the BU Intranet.
If you have any queries about the policy please contact Claire House-Norman or for queries about the events please contact Tom Galpin.
