Hodgson review could spell disaster for small charities, say campaigners - Governance - News - Civil Society

Hodgson review could spell disaster for small charities, say campaigners - Governance - News - Civil Society: mall charities could lose out, and a two-tier system of charities could be created, if the recommendations in Lord Hodgson’s review of the Charities Act are enacted, according to sector leaders.

The Directory of Social Change has warned that the recommendation to raise the annual income threshold at which charities are required to register with the Charity Commission from �5,000 to �25,000 could “decimate” small charities capacity to raise money and awareness for their causes.
