Charities

Charities and 'not for profit' organisations act as trustees/custodians for monies received from members of the public or grant awarding bodies. There is an enormous amount of extra legislation and statutory accounting regulations, which must be followed by such organisations to ensure that they operate within their stated objectives.

Our offices have teams of specialists dealing with local Charities and 'not for profit' organisations. This means we can give you expert advice and support, allowing you to focus on the day-to-day running of the charity.
