The Charity Commission – how charities should manage and review their connection to a non–charity

28/04/2024

The Charity Commission has issued guidance on how charities should manage and review their connection to a non–charity.

The guidance raises some key points and questions for trustees to consider.


Key points to consider:


  • Recognise the risks
  • Don’t further non-charitable purposes
  • Operate independently
  • Avoid unauthorised personal benefit and address conflicts of interest
  • Maintain your charity’s separate identity
  • Protect your charity

The detailed guidance can be found online along with separate checklists to consider in varying circumstances.


If you would like to discuss any questions raised by the guidance or have any questions or concerns, please contact  Caroline Peters  or a member of our friendly and knowledgeable Charities and Not-for-Profit Team.
