Charitable status of federations49

1

The governing body of a federation which includes a foundation, or voluntary school is a charity which is an exempt charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 201122, but no governing body of a federation which includes only community, community special or maintained nursery schools is a charity.

So far as it is a charity, any institution which—

a

is administered by or on behalf of any governing body of a federation which includes a foundation or voluntary school; and

b

is established for the general purposes of, or for any special purpose of, or in connection with, that body or that federation or any foundation or voluntary school within that federation;

must also be an exempt charity for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011.

In this regulation, “charity” (“elusen”) and “institution” (“sefydliad”) have the same meaning as in the Charities Act 2011.
