UK charitable trusts
UK charitable trusts are legal entities established to hold and manage assets for charitable purposes, benefiting the public or specific communities. They operate independently of individuals, governed by a trust deed, and are regulated by the Charity Commission. These trusts can fund projects, support causes, or provide grants, ensuring that resources are used effectively to meet their charitable aims. Income generated from their assets, such as investments or property, is typically used to support their activities, and they benefit from certain tax advantages under UK law.
