Dear Francene
Joint Committee on the Charities Bill
Please find enclosed some comments and observations
on the draft Charities Bill. This letter and enclosures were sent
by e-mail today to scrutiny@parliament.uk.
These comments were gathered at two workshops that
Mazars ran for trustees and finance directors of local charities
in both Huddersfield and Manchester in June 2004.
We gave a presentation on the draft bill and allowed
time for discussion in small groups, focussing around the eight
topics for consideration by the Joint Committee. We did not attempt
to put any "steer" on the discussion, but sought to
find the views of the sector. The two workshops were attended
by 87 delegates from charities in the Manchester / Yorkshire area,
mostly in the range of £1m to £10 income. The attendees
included our own audit clients, plus other charities who had responded
to our invitations.
Should you require any clarification, please contact
me on the above number.
Yours sincerely
Philip Wells
Senior Charities Manager
