Our policy on the charity sector

We work to influence Government policy across a large number of areas including:

• Monitoring reforms to the regulation of charities; ensuring these are effective, promote best practice in the sector and enable charities to operate in an efficient, impactful way for supporters.
• Promoting Legacy and Payroll Giving so that more people can give directly through their payroll and the public are encouraged to remember a charity in their will.
• Reforming and promoting Gift Aid to ensure this important scheme continues to benefit charities in an increasingly digital age.
• Ensuring new legislation and Government policies, for example tax reform or lobbying rules, do not have unintended negative consequences for charities.
