Welcome to the Evangelical Alliance

Charity Commission - Public Benefit Consultation

Charity CommissionThe Charity Commission’s consultation on Public Benefit and the Advancement of Religion ended on 30th June.

The Evangelical Alliance has generally welcomed the new Act and has broadly supported the new concept of charities in future having to demonstrate their contribution to public benefit rather than it being presumed as in the past.

Some important concerns remain regarding the extent of the Commission's powers and its competence to deal with some crucial matters relating to religion and belief and we can expect a period of serious reflection and critical questioning before the Commission finalises its guidance to the religious charitable sector in accordance with its monitoring of charities in the light of the new Charities Act.

Over the last year the Alliance has been working closely with the Charity Commission together with specialist charity lawyers and its own resultant submission to the Charity Commission is available.
