Called Jargonbuster, the resource attempts to define various terms used by charities, community groups and funders, to explain when these terms might be heard, and how they can be applied in different situations. It will also attempt to explain the ideas behind the jargon and help groups go be clearer and more consistent in their terminology.

The guide has been produced by the Jargonbuster Group, which is an informal partnership of funders, government departments, regulatory bodies and voluntary sector organisations.

The consultation draft of Jargonbuster is available on the CAF website. It’s a bit difficult to locate but visit www.cafonline.org/charity/default.cfm, click on ‘Grantmaking’, and then ‘Jargonbuster’.
