Charity Formation

furmage_d — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:45:32 +0000

Our specialists involved with charity law can help you with all aspects of charity formation and administration. There are two ways of forming a charity – by Trust Deed or limited company. In addition, the charity must have appropriate ‘articles’ to be accepted by the charity commission.

The administration of a charity includes setting up the trustees, dealing with changes of trustees and being aware of tax and other laws related to charitable organisations.

The kinds of charities we have been involved in include: churches, schools, scout groups, community groups, conservation charities, international aid charities and many more.
