recreational charity
A charity that provides facilities for leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare. After doubts expressed in the courts, Parliament confirmed in the Recreational Charities Act 1958 that these trusts were valid, as long as the facilities were provided with the aim of improving the conditions of life for those for whom they were primarily intended and were available to the public or a section of it. The 1958 Act was repealed in its entirety by the Charities Act 2011 and provision in relation to recreational charities is made thereunder.
