Charity Commission Review Visit
In July, the Society underwent a review visit by staff from the Charity Commission. A review visit is one of the methods by which the Commission engages in dialogue with the charitable sector. The purpose of the visit is to:
- ensure compliance with the legal framework within which the charity operates;
- identify evidence of good practice already in place and advise on areas for improvement;
- learn about how charities in different parts of the charitable sector operate and what issues are currently influencing or concerning them.
The visit went extremely well with the Commissioners having already read a whole raft of documents covering the governance and operation of the Society before having a half day meeting with three members of the Board of Trustees and Directorate.
