The Charity Commission is warning English and Welsh councils about administrative challenges related to charities, following several cases involving council trusteeship. Cardiff Council is in talks with the Charity Commission over Maindy Park Trust issues, potentially affecting the school extension plan. The Commission has developed guidance with the Local Government Association to address these concerns. Councils are urged to understand their charitable assets and comply with legal duties to avoid costly issues. Updated guidance for councils outlines trustee responsibilities, conflict management, accounting requirements, and rules for disposing of charity land. Cardiff Council has made changes to its decision-making processes involving charities to address these issues and manage conflicts of interest. The public awaits the outcome of the land swap application involving Maindy Park Trust and Cathays High School expansion plans.
