Advice on health and safety policies

Charities are no different to any other organisation in having to comply with Health and Safety legislation. However, there are special features in the charity sector, including :

• Protecting volunteer and outreach workers, including street collections of cash
• Protecting vulnerable beneficiaries, such as children and the mentally ill
• Issues arising out of donated goods and services
• Seconded employees
• Fundraising activities – ( a recent example of a bunjee jumping octogenarian comes to mind!)

Peter Brown & Co can provide the legally required risk assessments and policies and help the charity keep them up to date and relevant.

As members of the AVN network of accountants, we are a part of the National Campaign (http://www.thenationalcampaign.co.uk), whereby members have committed themselves to giving away £20 million pounds worth of professional services to UK business and the voluntary sector, in the form of discounted professional services. Many services that we provide will reflect a discount representing our contribution to the National Campaign.

As with all our services, our fees are highly competitive. Our offices are set in a rural location, and therefore we have low premises overheads. This means that we are able to offer the highest quality services, very often at the lowest price.
