Credit Unions: Finance
Asked by: Jo Platt (Labour (Co-op) - Leigh and Atherton) Tuesday 20th May 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will request that the British Business Bank make an assessment of the potential merits of support for a central finance facility for credit unions. Answered by Gareth Thomas - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) Credit Unions offer vital support, advice, and affordable finance to members. While there are no immediate plans for a central finance facility for Credit Unions, the government is committed to supporting underserved communities in all the nations and regions of the UK. In December 2024, the British Business Bank launched the Community Enable Funding programme, which is aimed at Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) serving smaller businesses in underserved communities. Unlike Credit Unions, CDFIs are unable to raise customer deposits and so this central financial facility is expected to boost the growth of the social lending sector. |

Gift Aid
Asked by: Jo Platt (Labour (Co-op) - Leigh and Atherton) Friday 23rd May 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what information her Department holds on the number of times the guidance set out in the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice on (a) fee transparency on charging commission on Gift Aid and (b) giving equal prominence to a zero fee or tip option has been breached in each of the last three years. Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport) Fundraising platforms are commercial organisations that provide an important service to charities and donors. Many charities ask online fundraising platforms to claim Gift Aid on donations made on their platform for the charity, and pay a fee for this service to be provided because it is cost effective and efficient to do so. No estimate has been made at this time on the potential impact of banning the charging commission on Gift Aid on revenues to charities. Most platforms are registered with the Fundraising Regulator, which is the independent, non-statutory regulator of charitable fundraising in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Fundraising Regulator’s new Code of Fundraising Practice, which will come into force on 1 November 2025, includes requirements for fundraising platforms to include information for donors about how fees, including any voluntary tips, are calculated. The Fundraising Regulator will engage with fundraising platforms to ensure they are clear on the new transparency requirements for fees and tipping sliders before the new Code comes into effect. DCMS does not hold information centrally about breaches of the Code of Fundraising Practice. The below information was provided by the Fundraising Regulator. The Fundraising Regulator issued guidance for fundraising platforms on 17 February 2023.To date since the guidance was published, the Regulator has closed a total of 20 cases where there were complaints about a "tip" being taken by a platform. None involved a breach of the Code because information about fees, including the tip, was provided even if it could have been clearer or made easier for donors to choose not to tip. In the same period, there were seven complaints relating to Gift Aid but none were about commissions, fees or tips on fundraising platforms so there was no breach of the Code. DCMS will continue working with the Fundraising Regulator, charities, and online giving platforms to support best practice across all forms of charitable fundraising.

Charities: Fundraising
Asked by: Jo Platt (Labour (Co-op) - Leigh and Atherton) Friday 23rd May 2025 Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to help ensure compliance with the Fundraising Regulator's Code of Fundraising Practice on the transparency of fees on fundraising platforms.

Fundraising: Profits
Asked by: Jo Platt (Labour (Co-op) - Leigh and Atherton) Tuesday 27th May 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what information her Department holds on the level of profits earned by social fundraising platforms from charging commission on Gift Aid in the last 12 months. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government recognises the vital role played by the charity sector and the generosity of the British public. That is why we support charitable giving with over £1.6billion in Gift Aid each year. Charities have the flexibility to decide on their own strategy for fundraising and are free to partner with other organisations to process their Gift Aid claims. It will ultimately be a commercial decision on the part of a charity to work with a fundraising platform and whether it is appropriate to pay a fee for any services provided. The Government does not provide financial support or subsidies to social fundraising platforms
