2. The client: Parity
Overview of the client.
Who are they, when did they start, why did they start, what do they do, how are
they funded?
Parity is a national non-party charity having no paid staff or public charity.
Because PARITY seeks changes in the law to redress statutory sex discrimination,
it has been deemed in the past to be ‘political’ and thus been denied a charitable
status. Its funding therefore depends entirely on subscriptions and donations from
members and sympathetic individuals and organisations.
Since the advent of the 1988 Human Rights Act however, charitable purposes have
been broadened to include bona fide human rights activities and after further
application, PARITY was eventually accepted as a registered charity.
