Charities

Hedleys solicitors have considerable experience of serving on the committees and boards of charitable organisations. We know what it is like to work on the inside of charities and support charities in our work. We have considerable experience in setting up and managing charities.

Formation
We can advise on how best to set up charities and and amend trusts to keep charitable powers and purposes up to date.

Management
At Hedleys, we know what you need on a practical basis. Sometimes issues will arise that raise novel points and we aim to provide appropriate help.

Employment issues
Good employment practices are as important in charities as in businesses. Those involved in charities have all the same issues as in other employments, but with the added difficulty that they need to support the charitable purposes. How to ensure that happens is not always easy, and we can help.
