Charities Act

The Office of the Third Sector and Charity Commission have jointly produced a plain english guide to the Charities Act 2006, aimed primarily at charities with an income below £500,000. It explains the main provisions of the Act, and where you can go for further information or guidance on specific provisions. The web–version of the guide will be updated as various provisions of the Act are commenced, or new guidance published.
