UK Federated Charities

As part of our work in promoting sister non profits and greater collaboration, which we think is a huge missed opportunity, we've created this list of federated charities.  It's by no means complete, so if you're part of one and not on the list, send me details to ian@charityexcellence.co.uk. Or if you'd like your existing entry amended, or removed, simply send me the details.  It needs to be short - your name, a web link, whom you support and number of members.  We also have a much bigger list of charity networks and membership bodies.

This Federated Charities List - Caveat

This federated charities list is for general interest only and does not constitute professional legal or financial advice.  I'm neither a lawyer, nor an accountant, so not able to provide this, and I cannot write guidance that covers every charity or eventuality.  I have included links to relevant regulatory guidance, which you must check to ensure that whatever you create reflects correctly your charity’s needs and your obligations.  In using this resource, you accept that I have no responsibility whatsoever from any harm, loss or other detriment that may arise from your use of my work.  If you need professional advice, you must seek this from someone else. To do so, register, then login and use the Help Finder directory to find pro bono support. Everything is free.
