This order ensures they can legally conduct fundraising activities and receive donations under the regulatory framework. It's essentially a 'stamp of approval' that brings charitable trusts under the protection and oversight of the main legislation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/collections-for-charities-order-2001","history":"/api/acts/collections-for-charities-order-2001/history","analysis":"/api/acts/collections-for-charities-order-2001/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/collections-for-charities-order-2001/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/collections-for-charities-order-2001/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/collections-for-charities-order-2001/documents"}}
