Charities are required to comply with a regulatory framework which is geared towards large organisations making it difficult for smaller charities. There are however a number of sites that will prove useful to anyone running small charities.
This page has links to some of these sites which provide help and advice. I hope these will be useful but I cannot vouch for or be responsible for their contents.
