Charitable Status - A Practical Handbook
by Andrew Phillips
Pub: DSC 1994 out of print - new edition due in second half of 2002 ISBN 1 873860 14 5
A step by step guide to registering a new charity and a practical handbook for running a charity. This covers everyday matters of role and responsibilities of trustees, accounts and reporting, and the tricky issues of conflict of interests, political activity and campaigning and trading. First published in 1980, this has stood the test of time - but you must use the new edition as there have been significant changes in recent years. Highly recommended.
