The Sheila McKechnie Foundation have created a new guide to help charity trustees navigate campaigning during the general election.

The guide ‘Navigating Charity Campaigning’ sets out a series of questions designed to help boards lay strong foundations for their organisation’s approach to campaigning – both now, in the immediate run up to the election, and for the years that follow.

Further information is available on the Charity Commission Website for parliamentary candidates on the rules that charities must follow.

Published yesterday (3rd June) this is the Governments guide for election candidates on the rules that charities must follow, and how parliamentary candidates can engage with them during an election campaign.
