The Christian Charities Handbook Availability: Our Price: £24.99 The charitable sector has had a huge and wide-ranging impact. It has built hospitals, established schools, relieved poverty, undertaken development and founded churches. And today the needs and opportunities are greater than they have ever been. Yet it is unlikely that charities will be as effective in their future work unless they meet the ever-increasing standards of governance and management that are laid upon them. The old ways of running charities will no longer suffice. Legislation by successive governments and good practice laid down by the Charity Commission impose expectations that did not exist twenty-five years ago. In many respects the standards imposed on charity trustees and managers are higher than those that apply in the commercial world. The Christian Charities Handbook is an invaluable guide to the legal and practical responsibilities associated with the governance and management of charities. Paul Martin, a senior and experienced charity solicitor, offers an overview of the principal issues and appropriate advice for responding to them. Wherever possible the material is related specifically to the Christian sector, to maximise its usefulness and relevance. The text also contains links to appropriate websites that will keep readers informed of present and future developments in charity law. Trustees and managers of Christian charities will find here a comprehensive and practical resource to enable them to achieve compliance with excellence, for the glory of God and the blessing of his church and world.
