Press Release
Sue Brumpton to leave the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association
13 January 2006
After more than three years in post, Sue Brumpton, Chief Executive of the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association will be leaving in February 2006 to take the helm of disability equipment charity the Medical Engineering Resource Unit (MERU).
Sue Brumpton’s achievements at the PFRA include developing the organisation’s structure and uniting over one hundred charities and fundraising organisations together to ensure that the quality, integrity and transparency of face-to-face fundraising is assured. Much of her time at the PFRA has been spent building relationships with local authorities and the voluntary sector to ensure that face-to-face fundraising remains a viable, sustainable option for charities hoping to attract new regular donors. Most recently she has influenced the development of new charities legislation to ensure that it will provide the public with the reassurance they need that fundraising is properly regulated, without unnecessarily burdening charities. She has also been heavily involved in the development of self-regulation for fundraising.
Sue Brumpton said today
“I am very proud of what the PFRA has achieved in three years and confident that I am leaving the organisation in a strong position to face the challenges that it will face in the future. Face-to-face fundraising continues to be a very effective method of donor recruitment for many charities and the PFRA will have a significant role in providing support to every stakeholder involved in its use during the coming months, I believe that the PFRA is in a very good place to be able to do this.”
Timothy Hornsby, Chairman of the PFRA, added.
“Sue has worked very hard to build a robust and professional organisation and will be missed by all of the staff and members who have worked with her. On behalf of all of them I wish her well. There is still, however, a great deal to achieve and we see this as an opportunity to develop the role of the PFRA within the voluntary sector. In appointing a new CEO we will seek to recruit new skills and fresh ideas to support the organisation as we face the implementation of the new charities legislation and strive to improve our service to our members and to the public whose generosity supports so many worthwhile charities.”
