Charities are finalising preparations for a tough new charity regulatory regime expected to become law before the end of this year.
Thirty charities came together in Dublin yesterday for the first of a series of information and training events to help them comply with the new Charities Act.
Hundreds of other charities will attend other events in Dublin and around the country over the coming weeks.
Deirdre Garvey, CEO of The Wheel, an umbrella organisation for the charity sector with 800 members, said it had organised the events so charities would be well prepared when the new law was enacted. She said The Wheel had actively lobbied for effective regulation of charities and welcomed the legislation, although it was still seeking inclusion of a definition of human rights in the Act.
Ms Garvey said The Wheel’s aim was to have charities run according to “best practice”.
Members of the boards of charities must be volunteers but they must also have considerable responsibilities in the areas of finance, health and safety, staff management and other areas, she said.
