C&J Black advises many charities and not for profit bodies including schools, charitable companies and other voluntary and community sector organisations in relation to their constitutions, governance, operations and financing.
We appreciate the importance of the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland society and seek to assist charities and voluntary organisations to provide effective support and assistance to their beneficiaries and the communities in which they operate.
Charities are now governed by the Charities Acts (Northern Ireland) 2008 & 2013, bringing in a level of regulation previously absent in Northern Ireland. The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland now maintains a register of charities and oversees the administration of charities.
We advise on the impact and requirements of charity legislation and on the regulatory framework.
