Non-Profit & Community

Constitution and weekly activity decide the heading, not the cause. A registered charity has charitable objects, trustees and a number on the register; a social enterprise trades like any other business and puts its surplus back into the mission — Charities & Foundations and Social Enterprises respectively. Community Groups & Centres and Religious Organisations are both tied to a building and a catchment, whereas Volunteering & Civic is about matching people to roles.

Support Groups & Helplines are peer-led and free to use; paid clinical therapy is under Mental Health & Counselling in Healthcare & Medical, and services aimed at parents and children in Childcare & Family Services. A charity's shop is a retail unit and is listed as one, under Charity Shops & Vintage in Retail & E-commerce.
