The Charity Commission has just updated its guidance to help charities continue running during the COVID-19 outbreak.
It is a great resource and covers:
- Government financial support for charities
- Charity meetings
- AGMs and other meetings: postponing or cancelling meetings
- Holding meetings online or by telephone
- Insolvency help for charitable companies and charitable incorporated organisations
- Mergers and collaborative working
- Using reserves and restricted funds
- Insolvency help for charitable companies and charitable incorporated organisations
- Further advice on managing financial difficulties
- Charity objects: understand if you can help with coronavirus efforts
- Reporting serious incidents to the Charity Commission
- Keeping people safe
- Fundraising and coronavirus appeals
- Trading subsidiaries – financial support from parent charities
- Reducing or returning contractual fees in return for a modified service
- Working with a company or business to help with coronavirus
- Charity statement of recommended practice (SORP) guidance
- Information from other organisations
