Charity definition: legal classification requires recognised charitable purposes and demonstrable public benefit for enforceability. The legal meaning of charity is technical and requires that purposes fall within established categories derived from the Statute of Elizabeth I or judicially recognised heads, or be statutorily declared charitable; additionally, such purposes must satisfy the public benefit requirement by being both beneficial and available to a sufficient section of the community. A trust or institution is charitable only if its objects are exclusively charitable; benevolent trusts lacking certainty are void. Charitable institutions may be registered and are subject to court supervision, which enables enforcement of charitable trusts even where activities are informally organised.
