Project:
467 - Restore Britain (Doing Politics Differently)
Description:
Restore Britain states that donations over £500 require the donor to be on the UK electoral register (excluding Channel Islands and Isle of Man), and that donations above a stated annual threshold must be reported to the Electoral Commission (with donor name and value published). This creates a compliance-critical workflow for eligibility verification, annual aggregation, accept/refuse decisions, and record keeping. (Source: Restore Britain Join Us)
Desired Outcome:
Every donation is screened, accepted/refused correctly, aggregated accurately across the year, and reported when required, supported by an auditable record.
What Could Go Wrong:
Impermissible donations are accepted, reporting triggers are missed, donor comms are inconsistent, and the party faces regulatory action and reputational damage.
Current Situation:
Donation/membership pages already publish the rules and reserve the right not to accept donations. The operational controls and audit trail still need to be formalised as a consistent system.
Action Strategy:
Define a donations SOP covering eligibility checks, aggregation logic, evidence required, refusal/refund handling, escalation, and reporting cadence; implement an internal donations register plus a monthly compliance review.
