Charity
Charities are part of British life. They range from small groups meeting local needs with few resources to the well-known major charities with budgets of millions.
Whatever their size or purpose, an essential requirement of all charities is that they operate for the public benefit and independently of government or commercial interests.
Our job is to ensure our readers are provided with the best possible regulation and information on these charities in order to increase charity effectiveness, public confidence and trust in them.
