Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook – New edition due

The Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook

Comprehensively updated and expanded since the second edition, The Russell-Cooke Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook is a detailed yet user friendly guide to the many areas of law that affect charities, community groups and other voluntary organisations.

Easy to use, with clear jargon-free language and a detailed index, it covers not only the “headline” changes in charity, company and employment law, but also the legal changes that affect all aspects of running a voluntary organisation.

Areas covered include the law on setting up and running an organisation, employment and volunteering, running services and activities, property, publicity, fundraising, trading and much more.

“The Voluntary Sector Legal Handbook is possibly one of the most useful books I have ever bought. I’ve used the Second Edition over the last 6 years; it is an invaluable and authoritative source of reference to guide and advise voluntary and community sector organisations . On governance, employment and finance issues it has served as my ‘bible’.” Ray Duffill, Blackpool SURF 2005-08.
