CharitEpulse: Regulatory delays and filing failures
In this week’s podcast our chatters James Saunders, Charles Mesquita and Catherine Rustomji unpack another busy week in the charity sector.
The trio discuss:
- The Government launches £11.59m Local Covenant Partnerships Fund targeting 15 disadvantaged areas.
- The Charity Commission uses extremely rare legal powers to merge two mosque charities.
- Late charity account filings surge 51% to 17,773, raising governance concerns.
- The Charity Commission recruiting 80 new staff as budget rises 27% to address ‘extraordinary’ demand.
- The Fundraising Regulator reports that complaints related to Community Interest Companies (CICs) have risen to 18%, driven by issues with door-to-door and street fundraising.
The podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and YouTube.
