management and care of charities and voluntary organisations' archives and records or who are involved with them more generally. CHARM membership is open to anyone interested in the sector and its records and archives. CHARM provides a forum where issues of interest can be discussed and action taken. Its members form a network allowing them to draw support from each other and benefit from others expertise and experience. CHARM's main outward looking aim is to promote the importance of charity and voluntary sector records and archives and to raise the profile of the role of archivists and records managers within both the charity and voluntary sector and the archive, records management and information professions. 

Meetings are held four times a year and consist of a mixture of business, discussion and presentations on specific issues. In addition, CHARM-online, the group's e-mail discussion list allows a greater degree of communication, information exchange and participation than is possible via meetings alone and allows members who find it difficult to travel to be involved.
