Campaigning is a key tool for charities to make change. However, there is uncertainty around the role of charities, how political they can be, and what constitutes overstepping the mark. This was brought to public attention recently when the RSPB was forced to apologise for its approach to calling the government out.

With a general election coming up, there are significant opportunities for charities to bring attention to the issues they are fighting for. But trustees need to be mindful of the extra regulations the 2014 Lobbying Act places on charities in the run up to an election.

At this free event, run in partnership with Clothworkers Company, and targeted at trustees, we will be joined by the following speakers:
Paul Parker, Recording Clerk of Quakers in Britain, will be chairing the event. And will be joined by: Sanchita Hosali, CEO of the British Institute of Human Rights, and Suhan Rajkumar senior associate at law firm, Bates Wells.
