Helping Individuals in Need: A guide to good practice for charities

This toolkit is intended for those running a charity that gives grants to individuals in need.

Authored by Caroline Aldred and Clementine Cowl, the idea for this guide came out of the questions that arise frequently at ACO meetings such as ‘our trustees want to offer loans to applicants, but can we do this and what are the legal implications?’ or ‘how should we manage home visits?’ We hope that this guide will assist in finding answers to these questions.
