The Charity Commission – how charities should manage and review their connection to a non–charity
03/04/2019
The Charity Commission has issued guidance on how charities should manage and review their connection to a non–charity.
The guidance has raised 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 revised guidance can be found online along with separate checklists to consider in varying circumstances which are hyperlinked below:
- Checklist 1: Charities operating with a non-charity as a subsidiary
- Checklist 2: Charities set up and mainly funded by the non-charity
-
Checklist 3: Charities in a regular partnering or funding relationship with a non-charity that is not its founder or subsidiary
If you would like to discuss any questions raised by the new 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.
