The Charities Bill

Charities Bill is re-introduced

The Queen's Speech on 17 May contained the news that the Government will re-introduce the Charities Bill, after it was timed-out when the General Election was called in April. We hope the Bill will be reintroduced shortly.

The Commission's Chairman, Geraldine Peacock, issued the following statement;

“ The announcement that a Charities Bill will be re-introduced is great news – both for the sector and the Commission. We’re really pleased that this legislation has been given the priority it deserves to help equip all those involved in running and regulating charities to move forward in a changing world.”
