Charities and Public Service Delivery – An introduction and overview

This introduction to public service delivery by the Charity Commission is primarily aimed at smaller charities and those charities considering delivering public services for the first time but it is also useful to charities that are already delivering public services. It gives an overview of the legal and good practice issues that organisations need to consider and looks at the following:

• What are public services?
• Can charities deliver public services?
• Can charities use their own funds to pay for or contribute to services that public authorities normally provide or fund?
• What are the legal requirements that charities must comply with?
• What recommended good practice should charities consider?
• What risks should charities be aware of?
• What sources of help and advice are available?
