Charities Act - what you need to know

In case you missed it: catch up with the recording from our Board Talk on ‘Charities Act – changes for our charities’.

With over 28,000 charities in Aotearoa NZ our charities play a major part in supporting our communities. This Board Talk covered the changes to the Charities Act, helping you get the information you need to manage and govern your charity.

We were joined by Andrew Newbery (Charities Services), Michelle Kitney (Volunteering NZ) and Steven Moe (Parry Field Lawyers); with the conversation led by Rose Hiha-Agnew.
