For local authorities, councillors and those advising them on public facilities which they are responsible for as a charity trustee…. The Charity Commission for England and Wales has for the first time issued an Official Warning to a local authority for mismanagement, misconduct or breach of trust in relation to charities for which it is a charity trustee. The Official Warning was issued last month to Calderdale MBC for: *Failure to file annual accounts and annual returns for 13 charities. For most of these charities filing defaults have been ongoing for more than 15 years. *Failure to follow an Action Plan issued in May 2023 to submit all outstanding accounting information and take other steps to ensure appropriate financial controls and governance procedures. To put things right, the Official Warning requires Calderdale MBC to: *Bring filings of all accounting information for the charities up to date *Implement processes to ensure compliance with accounting responsibilities in future *Locate and identify all 13 charities on a local register and collate their details and assets *Hold regular trustee meetings, treating each charity as a separate entity *Ensure councillors are aware of their duties and responsibilities? *Review financial controls for all the charities, implement and record processes to provide evidence they have done so to the Charity Commission Lawyers In Local Government

People often ask me to explain what a community foundation does. At its simplest, County Durham Community Foundation gets money in and then gets it out to the small, essential but all too often underfunded grassroot charities that are intimately connected to and trusted by their communities. Charities that do everything asked of them and more. Charities that rely on a few passionate staff, lots of volunteers and a 'well, we just have to...if not us, then who' mindset. This report from The Centre for Social Justice is short but brings together all too familiar stats to us. A few headlines: - 85 per cent of all charitable income in England and Wales goes to just 4 per cent of registered charities - average expenditure for small charities has risen by almost 12 per cent post-pandemic, compared with only a 3 per cent rise in income - the 10 biggest charities spend more on fundraising alone (￡243 million) than the combined total income of over 75,000 smaller charities - 75 per cent of the sector’s total income flows to just 1 per cent of charities- charities in London receive up to 8 times more public funding than elsewhere in the country Sobering stats as we enter a new budget year, a year when I expect we will support near enough 600 small charities again in County Durham alone, all doing vital work. Thats a lot of small charities in just one part of the UK doing tough work that is getting tougher every single day. UK Community Foundations #enrichinglives #smallbutvital
