**Setting up and running a charity can be a daunting challenge, but this book from
Cecile Gillard guides you through the practicalities.**

This book aims to help those people deal with the complex regulation, so they can
focus more effectively on delivering real social value and making a positive impact
for the communities they serve.

Packed with helpful advice, this book offers all the information needed to set up
and run a successful charity. From legal parameters and their practical impacts,
through finance and managing assets, to the roles and responsibilities of charity
boards and trustees, the book provides both theory and practice, with case studies
to examine where things have gone both right and wrong.

The book is aimed at those who have principal responsibility for the governance,
administration and practical operation of charities, in particular their trustees
and secretaries or clerks and senior charity managers, and those who support and
advise them, including lawyers, accountants, Chartered Secretaries and other professional
advisers.[](https://fundraising.co.uk/books/how-to-run-a-charity/void(0))
