Thursday, 23 July 2026 (12:00-13:00)
How well do you understand your charity’s legal structure?
Join us for our next free Charity Catch-Up on Thursday, 23 July, where we’ll revisit some of the key principles at the heart of being a charity and help you better understand how your organisation is constituted.
We’ll discuss CIOs, CLGs and CICs, exploring the differences between them, what they mean in practice, and some of the common misconceptions.
Plus, with the Charities SORP 2026 on the horizon, we’ll share 10 key changes to charity accounts, practical steps to prepare, and where to find further guidance.
As always, we’ll round up the latest charity sector news and developments, and there’ll be plenty of opportunities to ask your questions.
The session is free to attend and recorded for anyone unable to join on the day. The Charity Catch-Up will be held live on Zoom on Thursday, 23 July from 12:00-13:00.
