Overview

Join us for this lunchtime webinar as SCVO Pro Bono Service partners Turcan Connell discuss the difference between primary purpose and non-primary purpose trading by a charity, when it may be appropriate to filter trading activity through a trading subsidiary, as well as offering governance and practical advice.

Overall aim

The aim of this webinar is to give an overview of what is involved in charity trading, including the potential financial and reputational risks. It will outline the questions you need to consider if you are thinking of developing what can be an important source of funding, which can provide an unrestricted and sustainable source of income and help you achieve your charitable objectives.

Who was the event aimed at?

Trustees and senior managers of charities
