At Dunkley’s Accountants, we’re proud to work alongside more than 30 charities, clubs and not-for-profit organisations across Bristol and the South West for all their accountancy needs. As specialists in the sector, we know how important it is to stay informed and up to date with the latest changes, especially when compliance, funding, and public scrutiny are ongoing concerns.
To help you navigate the latest developments, we’ve published our Spring 2025 edition of Charity News, packed with insights and guidance tailored to the not-for-profit sector.
What’s Inside?
In this issue, we explore several key topics affecting charities this year including:
- Fundraising in 2025: We examine how reduced government funding, and the introduction of AI are reshaping donor engagement strategies, and what that means for your fundraising approach.
- The Increased Fundraising Levy: Learn how the phased changes to the levy will impact large charities and how to prepare effectively.
- Compliance Under the Spotlight: Discover the lessons emerging from recent Charity Commission investigations and why timely financial reporting remains critical.
We’ve designed this guide to be a practical resource for charity leaders, trustees, and finance managers who want to ensure their organisation continues to thrive, while remaining fully compliant with regulations like the Charities Act.
