We get the real world
We understand your sector, the sensitivities involved in your work and the broader challenges and regulations you face. A number of our partners also act as charity trustees, so we have a personal as well as a business understanding of charitable and not-for-profit organisations of all types and sizes.
Whilst you’re regulated for charity law purposes by the Charity Commission, we know you may also subject to other regulations, such as those of the Care Quality Commission. To ensure good governance, you can rely on us to examine the minute detail on a wide range of regulatory issues including incorporation, trustee powers and reasonability.
We know every penny is important and accountable
We offer our experience to a wide range of charities and not-for-profit organisations across the South West and beyond. We’re equally at home acting for the small as well as large not-for-profit organisations and our agile, straightforward approach and clear direction always makes it quicker and easier to resolve confusing issues and make decisions with certainty.
