This question is from a member of our community that wishes to remain anonymous:
Our charity is a small choir. We registered with the charity commission this year as our earnings meant we were required to.
Previously, members of the choir (including trustees) have been gifted flowers and a card on milestone birthdays (5s and 0s), for celebratory events (marriage) or for illness/bereavement, which were paid for with choir funds.
I am struggling to find guidance on whether or not this is something we can continue to do within the limits of the charity commission's rules.
Does anyone have any insight? For reference, we have around 40 members.
