Setting Up A Charity In Gambia
Solie Law Chambers provide legal advice to groups, charities, associations & organisations in The Gambia.
There are various different types of groups. In this context we are not using the word with any legal meaning but just to signify a collection of people who have got together for some purpose.
They may be an entirely informal association, they may have set up a club and set up a constitution or they may even have some form of corporate structure. Usually, the aims of the organisation are not commercial.
Charities & Organisations in The Gambia
Typical examples of organisations that may benefit from our services are charities and community development projects specialising in education, healthcare, sport or social empowerment, property ownership or residents’ groups or indeed trade unions or even groups formed to pursue a collective action or common aim
Many issues are the same as those facing private individuals or businesses. The legal services they require tend to be very similar and Solie Law can help in a number of ways.
