Campaign

Charity Fraud Awareness Week (17 – 21 October 2022) is an award-winning campaign run by a partnership of charities, regulators, law enforcers, representative and umbrella bodies, and other not-for-profit stakeholders from across the world. The purpose of the week is to raise awareness of fraud and cybercrime affecting the sector and to create a safe space for charities and their supporters to talk about fraud and share good practice.

CyberScotland are delighted to be supporting Charity Fraud Awareness Week.

Fraud is an ever-evolving and increasing threat to everyone. No organisation – charitable or otherwise – can make itself completely immune to the threat. This means that all charities need to take practical actions to protect themselves from harm.

Now in its seventh year, the week brings together everyone within the sector to talk about fraud. There are lots of great ways for individuals and organisations to get involved in the week. Here are some of them.
