RPC opinion: Review of Financial Thresholds in Charity Legislation

HTML

Details

The IA is concerned with an Act to amend the Charities Act 1960 and make other provision with respect to charities; to regulate fund-raising activities carried on in connection with charities and other institutions; Schedule and to make fresh provision with respect to public charitable collections; and for connected purposes.

The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) gave a ‘green’ rating to the impact assessment from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport on 19 February 2026. This means that we considered it to be fit for purpose based on our scrutiny of the evidence and analysis supporting the case for why regulation is necessary. 

The RPC’s opinion refers to the evidence and analysis presented in the options assessment, not the policy itself.
