Understanding the Lobbying Act

The Lobbying Act 2014 introduced new rules for charities, NGOs and campaigning groups undertaking public-facing campaigns in the run up to national elections, including the 2015 General Election.

Bond was a part of the broad coalition of organisations who campaigned against the introduction of the Act.

While Bond continues to have significant concerns about some aspects of the Lobbying Act and will continue to call for it to be repealed, we also recognise that it is a new law that our sector needs to operate within.
