Charities Act 2022- what does it mean for legacy officers?

The hotly awaited Charities Bill received Royal Assent on 24 February 2022 becoming the Charities Act 2022. Designed to make life less complicated for charities, there are a number of aspects which it is key for legacy officers to understand.  Shoosmiths and Foot Anstey have teamed up to present a two-part session providing an insightful guide on how to make the most of those changes.

In the first session from 11.00am – 12.00pm Angela Bowman and Robert Nieri of Shoosmiths will explain the new law on amendment to charitable purposes; on the extended power to make ex gratia payments; and in respect of the increased flexibility to spend/ borrow from permanent endowment.

In the second session from 1.00pm – 2.00pm Anna Phillips and Sandra Worthington of Foot Anstey will consider the key property-related changes for legacy officers focusing on the changes to  s.119 Reports, statements, certificates and what this will mean at a practical level!
