MHA Trustee Hub: Supporting Stronger Charity Governance

18 May 2026

Published in: Member News
MHA has relaunched its Trustee Hub, providing practical guidance for trustees and charity leaders navigating increasing governance pressures and uncertainty. This latest edition focuses on two key themes shaping charity resilience in 2026: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and VAT on new income models.

Artificial Intelligence in Charities

AI is becoming a valuable tool for charities, particularly in supporting overstretched finance teams by reducing administrative burden and minimising errors. Trustees play a critical role in understanding and overseeing its use, ensuring AI supports decision-making, with appropriate governance safeguards in place.

New VAT Income Models

Robust VAT oversight remains essential to effective financial governance. The VAT treatment of income depends on the substance of arrangements, not their label, and errors can lead to unexpected liabilities or lost recovery. As charities diversify income streams, early consideration, accurate calculations, and clear documentation are key to maintaining compliance and financial sustainability.

Explore MHA’s insights, articles, and practical resources on these topics in the Trustee Hub.
