Overview

Last year Charity Fraud Awareness Week ran from 24 - 28 October.

The week promoted fraud awareness and encouraged everyone working within the charity and not-for-profit sectors to start a conversation about fraud.

Each day a series of prevention tips was tweeted on social media, along with practical examples of common scams. On the Friday we live tweeted from the second national charity fraud conference in London.

By joining together we can make a difference in stopping fraud against charities.
