  This handbook aims to actively encourage and inform members of the public as to how they can help others, whilst at the same time enabling charities to explain their work in some detail to a large and receptive market. It provides information on every aspect of the charities industry, including first-hand accounts from charities on what they would like the public to know about them. It covers: regulatory bodies and charity organizations; funding and financing - how the money comes and goes; opportunities for volunteers; explanations and details of overheads; tax efficient covenants and bequests; charities as businesses; and how to start a charity. The handbook also contains case histories, stories and quotes from founders, volunteers and beneficiaries. It should be of use to anyone interested in the charities sector, be they charities themselves, people already involved or potential volunteers and benefactors.
