Briefings: charity law, regulation and finance

The charity and voluntary sector in the UK is extremely diverse, and delivers tremendous benefit to the UK public and beyond.

Government has a crucial role in supporting and enabling charities such as Cancer Research UK to thrive.

Cancer Research UK is the largest charity in Britain, supported by over one million donors and volunteers and funded almost entirely through public charitable donations.

Government policy towards charities and voluntary organisations can have a direct impact on funding available for important medical research.
