On Monday 31 October 2022, the first set of changes introduced by the Charities Act 2022 came into force. This includes introducing a range of provisions and new powers for trustees.
The key changes include:
- An extended power for charities to pay trustees for providing goods to the charity under certain circumstances (in addition to services, and goods connected to services)
- A reduction in the administrative complexities surrounding fundraising appeals that do not reach, or exceed, fundraising targets (often known as ‘failed appeals’).
- A new statutory power for Royal Charter charities to change sections of their Royal Charter which they could not previously change, with the approval of the Privy Council.
