Benefits and obligations of being a registered charity

In April and May 2025 Charities Services hosted two webinars about the benefits and obligations of being a registered charity.  

These webinars were designed for newly registered charities, new officers, or those who simply need a refresher on the topic, and covers:  

• The benefits and obligations of charity registration 

• Whether registration is necessary for your charity 

• The steps to take if you wish to deregister 

• Q&A session with Charities Services staff. 

By the end of the webinar, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and obligations of being a registered charity, allowing you to decide if registering suits your organisation's needs.
