Practice Area:Charities
With the passing of the Charities Act 2006 many changes have been introduced affecting the way that charities must operate today. These include new revised accounting rules and modifying powers for charities - especially charitable companies.
The Act has also introduced a new statutory definition of "charity" replacing the definition that has been in existence since Queen Elizabeth I.
Charities small and large need to review their constitutions and governance documents. We are able to assist in both the formation of charities and their continued governance, as well as provide advice to in relation to day-to-day charitable activities.
