Through our working parties we respond to consultations, surveys and developments, actively working to shape policy and legislation for the benefit of the sector. Our working parties are comprised of members and are usually led by a member of the Executive Committee. We also have regular liaison with the Charity Commission Legal Team.
If you have any issues of general principle on charity law and practice that you would like us to liaise with the Commission, please contact the administrator at admin@charitylawassociation.org.uk
