The Data & Marketing Association UK (DMA UK) recently announced the government had accepted an amendment to the Data (Use & Access) Bill to include charity email marketing soft opt-in, which will allow for UK charities to potentially earn an additional £290m annually.
As a DMA UK member, Wood for Trees, part of Salocin Group, provided data analysis in support of their lobbying, to get this clause reinstated in the bill.

Salocin Group is a key sponsor of the Data & Marketing Association UK (DMA UK) Data Conference on 13 March 2025.
Chris Combemale, Director of Policy and Current Affairs at DMA UK, will deliver a speech on how they’ve successfully lobbied for the DUA Bill amendment to include soft opt-in for charity email marketing, highlighting Wood for Trees data analysis.
DMA UK will also be hosting a joint live webinar with Wood for Trees and industry leaders once the bill has passed, expected to be as early as mid-2025, to explain how to maximise email marketing for charities and share practical guidance.
