Charities Act 2022: information session

You can find out more about the new Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2022 and any potential impact on your charity via the Commission’s online information session, which is available to watch on YouTube at: Information session on the new Charities Act (NI) 2022 - YouTube.

The Act effectively reinstates the full register of charities and gives certainty to charities, the public, funders and others as to which organisations are registered charities in Northern Ireland. It will also increase the transparency of the charity sector by re-instating annual reporting by all registered charities, enabling the public to understand more about the charities they support.

To help guide charities, and their support networks and organisations, in understanding the changes which the new law will bring in, the Commission recently hosted two online information sessions on the impact of the Act.

The sessions were held via Zoom with one of the sessions now available to watch via the YouTube link above.

Alongside the video, you can access a wide range of information on the new Act, including refreshed appeal rights and changes to annual reporting, via our FAQS here.
