Charitable Organisation’s
Definition of charitable organisation

A charity, or charitable organisation, in England and Wales is a particular type of voluntary organisation. A voluntary organisation is an organisation set up for charitable, social, philanthropic or other purposes. It is required to use any profit or surplus only for the organisation's purposes, and it is not a part of any governing department, local authority or other statutory body. All charities are voluntary organisations, but not all voluntary organisations in England and Wales are charities. For a voluntary organisation to be a charitable organisation or charity, its overall goals, sometimes called the “purposes” of the organisation, must be charitable. All the purposes of the organisation must be charitable, as a charity cannot have some purposes which are charitable and some which are not.

The Charities Act 2006 provides the following list of charitable purposes.

• the prevention or relief of poverty
• the advancement of education
• the advancement of religion
• the advancement of health or the saving of lives
• the advancement of citizenship or community development
• the advancement of the arts, culture, heritage or science
• the advancement of amateur sport
• the advancement of human rights, conflict resolution or reconciliation or the promotion of religious or racial harmony or equality and diversity
• the advancement of environmental protection or improvement
• the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage
• the advancement of animal welfare
• the promotion of the efficiency of the armed forces of the Crown or of the police, fire and rescue services or ambulance services
• other purposes currently recognised as charitable and any new charitable purposes which are similar to another charitable purpose.

A charity must also provide a public benefit.
