  • A Bill to amend the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 - Rural needs impact assessment

    Topics:
    • Voluntary and community, 
    • Regulation of charities

    Date published: 27 March 2026

    The Bill reflects recommendations from the Independent Review of Charity Regulation (the Review) and aims to ensure that the sector remains well‑supported, transparent, and proportionately regulated. These reforms also respond to operational challenges that have emerged since the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 (the 2008 Act) came into effect.
