Charities

Whilst the charity sector has historically relied upon volunteers and unpaid trustees, the industry is becoming increasingly entrepreneurial, without losing its primary purpose of serving a community or social group.

We currently act for over 130 registered charities from Lancashire and Cumbria, with a combined annual income in excess of £71.5m p.a., putting us amongst the top specialist charity auditors in the UK.

We are also able to offer practical advice to trustees, as many of our charity team are themselves trustees of registered charities.

For more information about the services we offer to charities please contact Susanna Cassey or Christine Wilson.
