Empower Charities will work with you to ensure your dream charity is registered.
Whether it’s a monitoring/compliance visit, or statutory enquiry I’m here to help.
Most charities are unaware of the importance of a health check to ensure they’re operating effectively.
We will work with you to ensure your organisation is registered with the Charity Commission. This involves multiple steps including: deciding your charity purposes, choosing the right legal structure, preparing governing document, and deciding how you will carry out your purposes.
We assess your charity’s operations, policies, and practices. We identify strengths, weaknesses, and compliance gaps, providing a detailed baseline report that highlights areas for improvement.
We conduct readiness assessments, offering actionable recommendations to help you meet regulatory expectations and support you during any visits to ensure a smooth process.
We offer a range of bespoke and engaging training sessions on all aspects of good practice for charities. Sessions are designed to equip trustees with the tools needed for effective governance.
We will set up and register the new CIO. Obtain Charity Commission authority to grant you indemnity for liabilities incurred as trustees of the old charity. Where the trustees of the old and new charity are the same, obtain Charity Commission authorisation for the conflict of interest in order to proceed with the transfer.
