Guidance on campaigning at election time
29th, March 2010
Will your organisation be involved in campaigning in the run up to the general election? If so you may want to look at The Directory of Social Change's round up of the guidance available to charities.
Charities cannot exist to support political purposes, they cannot campaign on behalf of political parties or individual candidates, and cannot give them funds or other support. However, it is legitimate for charities to evaluate and support or criticise the policy proposals of parties and candidates, such as those which appear in election manifestos.
