Charitable organisations continue to explore new income streams to become more self-sufficient. If you work for a charity that has its venues open to the public and guests, a common source of additional income is through the sale of food and alcohol, which requires a valid premises licence.
Licensing for charities
Understanding the importance of carefully managing your expenditure, our innovative approach to licensing for charitable organisations, combined with our online case management system, enables you to obtain and manage the correct licences quickly and efficiently without compromising on quality.
We have developed strong working relationships with local authorities and police forces throughout the UK to improve communication efficiency and ensure your licensing requirements are managed and progressed as smoothly as possible.
Licensing for charities
We have considerable experience in supporting some of the UK’s best-known charities with their licensing requirements and have built a solid reputation for providing pragmatic advice whilst helping to minimise costs.
Our specialist licensing lawyers have helped many charities and not-for-profit organisations to obtain and manage the necessary licences to allow them to sell food and alcohol on their premises, as well as assisting with staff training requirements, compliance and reporting.
As an example of our licensing in the voluntary sector, we have worked with a national charity to deliver a clear understanding of what was within its licensed estate and provided ongoing compliance, training support and guidance on how they can maximise their licensed estate potential.
