With February passing as swift as ever, we're back with March's Pick of the Month. This month features a Trustee from one of the country's leading Cancer charities, an entrepreuner finding innovative ways to engage with disdavantaged communities, a charity leader building vital skills for employability for individuals across Leeds and, finally, a Senior Fellow with diverse experience across the arts now working to support cultural output in Margate, Kent.

On 24th February 2022, the new Charities Act 2022 officially received Royal Ascent and passed through government. The Act will provide charities with an update on their legal obligations, making amendments to the previous Charities Act 2011. With new legislation comes a new level of responsibility for trustees and charities. Bearing this in mind, we have collated some of the key guidance out there for trustees in a helpful FAQs format.
