Hodgson Review calls for a 'new settlement' for charities
Charities should be given more control and freedom over how they are run, Lord Hodgson has said in his report on the Charities Act 2006.
Last year, the Government appointed Lord Hodgson to conduct a wide-ranging review of the Charities Act 2006 to investigate whether it is fit for purpose. He was asked to consider if better regulation is needed and whether the existing rules are enabling charities to operate easily. The Government will carefully consider his recommendations.
