Frequently asked questions

What structure should my charity use?+

Common options include a charitable incorporated organisation, a charitable company, or a trust, each with different governance and liability implications. A lawyer can recommend the right structure for your size and aims in a short consultation.

What are my duties as a trustee?+

Trustees must act in the charity's best interests, manage its resources responsibly, and comply with charity law and the governing document. A lawyer can advise on your specific duties and help you avoid personal liability.

Do we need to register as a charity?+

It depends on your structure, income, and purposes. A lawyer can confirm whether registration is required, and handle the application and governing document so it is done correctly first time.

Answer a few questions and we will map your situation and suggest next steps.
