Charities (non-profit organization)

Le charities sono associazioni benefiche o umanitarie che operano senza scopo di lucro, specialmente nei settori dell’assistenza, della ricerca medica, dei diritti umani, dell’educazione e della cultura. Sono molto numerose nel Regno Unito: attualmente se ne contano circa 165.000. Si dedicano a svariate attività: organizzano raccolte di fondi, manifestazioni sportive, feste, vendite di beneficenza (jumble sales), patrocinate dai soci o da aziende locali. Alcune hanno una rete di negozi (charity shops) con i cui proventi finanziano le proprie iniziative. Numerose organizzazioni umanitarie di fama mondiale, come Amnesty International e Oxfam, sono charities nate in Gran Bretagna.
