PFRA not invited to Institute summit on future of face-to-face

This is interesting. The PFRA is the chuggers trade association but they are being left out in the cold as the Institute of Fundraising plans to hold a fundraising directors-only meeting about the current state of face-to-face fundraising.

"The IoF yesterday announced that in light of media exposure of face-to-face fundraisers failing to meet standards it will hold a summit on the issue on 23 July. The Public Fundraising Regulatory Association, set up to regulate and enforce standards in face-to-face fundraising, has thus far not been invited to attend and was not involved in the summit’s planning"

I think this proves how divided the chugging sector is. The PFRA being snobbed in this way by the IoF send a clear signal that they feel that they've been let down by the PFRA's inability to regulate chugging effectively in light of the Telegraphs investigations. i won't be surprised that the PFRA have not been invited as the IoF may be discussing whether or not to disatociate themselves with this inept organisation called the PFRA. They are giving the IoF a bad name as everyone is questioning the ethics of chugging and everyone associated with it.
