Charity and the Third Sector - Is your charity thinking of merging?
24th April 2025
Charity and the Third Sector | Is your charity thinking of merging? | Tues 6 May 2025 | 12.00-13.30
With financial pressures continuing to rise in 2025, many charities are asking: Should we join forces and merge with other charities to deliver our purpose – or even to survive?
To help you consider the potential benefits, challenges and alternatives to mergers, Lindsays is hosting a webinar titled: Is your charity thinking of merging?
Join us as we guide you through the key considerations, including:
- Different legal routes and structures – from informal collaborations to full-scale mergers
- Legal and regulatory considerations – including governance compatibility and required consents
- What to assess in a potential merger partner – from property and pension liabilities to employment law and organisational culture
Against this backdrop – with charity mergers having nearly doubled in England and Wales last year, and many Scottish charities under financial strain – we'll offer practical insights to help you make informed decisions.
This interactive session offers an opportunity for you to get involved and you are encouraged to submit questions in advance when you register. Our speakers will endeavour to answer as many as possible during the session and will be available for further questions from 13:00-13:30.
