Charities Act Changes

The next tranche of provisions from the Charities Act 2022 are expected to be effective in June 2023. This includes changes to how charities sell land and access permanent endowments.

The implementation plan has changed and some provisions that were originally planned to commence in June 2023 (Phase 2) will now be implemented by the end of 2023 (Phase 3). These are sections 18, 23, 24 and Schedule 1.

Changes to the Charities Act 2022 – Phase one goes live in the Autumn

The Charities Act 2022 simplifies charity law so that charities can spend less time and resources on untangling legal processes, from amending governing documents, to selling land, merging with other charities, and making use of permanent endowment funds.

The Act will be implemented in three phases over the next 15 months, with the first phase going live in autumn 2022.

To help the charity sector stay informed of the incoming legislative changes this autumn, the Charity Commission for England and Wales has published information about what impact these changes will have on their guidance.
