If you need to postpone a Trustees' meeting or an AGM the Commission will not take any regulatory action against any charity if meetings are postponed as a result of the current circumstances. The Commission recommends that a note is kept documenting that the meeting has been postponed due to current health advice as a result of the coronavirus outbreak and, that plans to hold the AGM will be implemented as soon as reasonably possible after government advice changes.
Trustees may be concerned about missing their annual reporting deadline as their annual accounts and reports need to be ratified at their AGM before they are filed on the charity register. The Charity Commission has stated that no charity will be penalised for missing its annual reporting deadline and will not be marked 'In default' on the charity register.
