charities act 2011
On December the 14th the 2011 Charities Act received royal assent and is now due to be implemented and come into effect in March 2012. This Act repeals and replaces the majority of the three pre-existing Acts below:
Recreational Charities Act 1958
Charities Act 1993
Charities Act 2006
The 2011 Charities Act restructures and modernises existing legislation and brings most of it into one place. However, it does not change charity law, this is only to be done by the review of the 2006 Charities Act to be led by Lord Hodgson of Astley Abbots this summer.
