In Part 18 of the Charities Act 2011 (miscellaneous and supplementary), before the italic heading preceding section 332 insert— Limited power to make ex gratia payments Limited power for charity trustees to make ex gratia payments etc 331A (1) The charity trustees of a charity may take any action falling within subsection (2)(a) or (b) if the conditions in subsection (3) are met. (2) The actions are— (a) making any application of property of the charity, or (b) waiving to any extent, on behalf of the charity, its entitlement to receive any property. (3) The conditions are— (a) that the value of the property does not exceed the relevant threshold, (b) that the charity trustees have no power to take the action apart from this section or by virtue of section 106, and (c) that in all the circumstances the charity trustees could reasonably be regarded as being under a moral obligation to take the action. (4) The power conferred by this section may be restricted or excluded by the trusts of the charity. (5) In relation to a charity established by (or whose purposes or functions are set out in) legislation, the power conferred by this section is not disapplied only because the legislation concerned prohibits application of property of the charity otherwise than as set out in the legislation.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
