Overview of the public and community benefit sector in England and Wales This sector is made up of organisations outside the public sphere that exist, in whole or in part, to deliver public or community benefit, rather than to maximise and distribute profits to owners or shareholders. It is commonly labelled in several ways, including: ‘the not-for-profit’, more precisely the non-profit distributing sector ‘the third sector’, separate from both private and public spheres ‘the voluntary’ or ‘community and voluntary sector’ It is also widely described as the ‘charity sector’, which more accurately encompasses thousands of charities registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, together with charities expressly exempt or excepted from registration—such as statutory further education colleges, mainstream universities and registered places of worship—and numerous small charities below the £5,000 income threshold for formal registration. Within this field sit distinct organisational types, including: charities social enterprises co-operatives/mutuals community organisations socially focussed...

When a charity is created as a trust, the reality that its property, investments and contracts are held by the individual trustees in their own names means all such assets must be transferred or novated each and every time the trustee body’s composition changes from time to time (e.g. on death, retirement, or the appointment of a new trustee). A way to sidestep this is for the charity’s trustees to constitute themselves as a corporate body under Part 12 of the Charities Act 2011 (CA 2011). This enables the charity’s property to be held by a permanent corporate trustee, while individual trustees are still appointed and removed in the ordinary manner, as is customary, and continue to manage the charity with the same powers and responsibilities as before, on the same basis. Trustee incorporation is available to every charity, including those exempt or excepted from registering with the Charity Commission (the Commission). If the Commission receives an application from an unregistered charity that it considers should be registered, it will...

The requirements for reporting and accounting by charities The obligations are detailed in sections 130–176 of the Charities Act 2011 (CA 2011) (Part 8: Charity Accounts, Reports and Returns), alongside the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, SI 2008/629, and are supplemented by the relevant Statement of Recommended Practice—Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP). For reporting periods (financial years) starting on or after 1 January 2019, the updated second edition of the SORP (FRS 102), issued in October 2019, is in force. See also the Charity Commission’s guidance: the essentials November 2016 (CC15d). The obligations vary depending on the size and nature of the charity. To identify which requirements apply, check: whether the charity is also a company its income for the current financial year the value of its assets whether it must be registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (the Commission) as a charity Then determine: the type of accounts that must...
