The report collates feedback from education leaders, charities and local businesses to identify the challenges facing young people in the West Midlands, and the types of support which could be implemented to help combat these.

#FoundationFriday A private foundation can be a powerful vehicle for charitable giving, but sometimes the process of managing the foundation’s affairs can diminish the joy of giving, or become a burden for subsequent generations to maintain.

For local authorities, councillors and those advising them on public facilities which they are responsible for as a charity trustee…. The Charity Commission for England and Wales has for the first time issued an Official Warning to a local authority for mismanagement, misconduct or breach of trust in relation to charities for which it is a charity trustee. The Official Warning was issued last month to Calderdale MBC for: *Failure to file annual accounts and annual returns for 13 charities. For most of these charities filing defaults have been ongoing for more than 15 years. *Failure to follow an Action Plan issued in May 2023 to submit all outstanding accounting information and take other steps to ensure appropriate financial controls and governance procedures. To put things right, the Official Warning requires Calderdale MBC to: *Bring filings of all accounting information for the charities up to date *Implement processes to ensure compliance with accounting responsibilities in future *Locate and identify all 13 charities on a local register and collate their details and assets *Hold regular trustee meetings, treating each charity as a separate entity *Ensure councillors are aware of their duties and responsibilities  *Review financial controls for all the charities, implement and record processes to provide evidence they have done so to the Charity Commission Lawyers In Local Government

This resonated a lot. Development Trusts shouldn’t have to be stepping into the realm of housing, public transport, net zero transition, community ownership of shops, pubs and land in order to get the outcomes that their communities need - but when the public sector and private sector aren’t delivering those outcomes, who takes up the slack? The Third sector, of course. But we’re not resourced to do it and we can’t do it alone, so it’s exhausting. A new model of partnership working across the sectors is needed.
