The first edition (published in 2002) sold many thousands of copies, and the publishers (Directory of Social Change) subsequently invited Gareth Morgan to prepare two further editions. The second edition in 2008 added around 30% more content with updates for the Charities Act 2006, Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2006, and the Charities SORP 2005. The third edition contains many more updates including: the 2009 changes to the charity accounting thresholds in England and Wales, the accounting requirements under the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, new rules on gift aid from 2010, the change in the standard VAT rate to 20% from January 2011, a much extended appendix on implementation dates, and many other changes on points of detail.
The Charities Act 2006: A Guide for Foundations and Grant-Making Trusts in England & Walesis a wide ranging review of new issues in the Charities Act 2006, which have been gradually coming into effect from 2007 but is still not fully implemented even in 2012. Costing £11.00 including P&P this book was published in report form by Association of Charitable Foundations in spring 2007.

For anyone seeking an overview of the Charities Acts 2006/2011 which goes beyond the sort of guidance available from the Charity Commission but without resorting the legal tomes: it is a very comprehensive guide. It covers issues related to charities of all kinds – grant-making trusts need to understand the Act both from their own point of view and in terms of its impact on the groups they support. The provisions of the 2006 Act are now re-enacted in the Charities Act 2011 but the law has not changed, so this publication is still up to date on the changes made.
