We act for a number of national charitable institutions and have a wealth of experience to draw on in this field.
We can help you with:
- the formation, registration and governance of charitable trusts, incorporated societies, and companies with a charitable function
- preparing rules and constitutions to meet the requirements of the Charities Act
- income tax exemption
- charitable donee status (so donations to the charity can be tax-deductible for the donor)
