Simon Gillespie, chief executive of the Charity Commission and Stephen Dunmore,
chief executive of the Big Lottery Fund (BLF) will today sign a Memorandum
of Understanding (MoU), which has been drawn up to help combat any abuse
within the sector.
Its purpose is to
help ensure that lottery grants are used effectively by charities and
are not mismanaged, either deliberately or because of faults within the
organisation. By agreeing to exchange information, it is hoped that the
commission and the BLF can quickly intervene where necessary and prevent
any problems from escalating.
It is also believed
that by sharing information, any trends can be identified and will help
guidance and best practice be established to the benefit of the sector
as a whole.
