Free online service to help compliance with human resources and health and safety legislation
Charity Builder UK is a free, online service which can be used by all not-for-profit groups including charities, community groups and social enterprises. The service has been funded by Capacitybuilders, and developed in recognition that small and medium sized charities often find it hard to comply with Human Resources and Health and Safety legislation – two notoriously difficult, time consuming and costly areas of essential administration which increasingly need to be demonstrated as part of funding applications.

I look forward to replies
