Charity Commission

Charity Commission

The Charity Commission regulates and registers charities in England and Wales, to ensure that the public can support charities with confidence.

They are an independent, non-ministerial government department accountable to Parliament and as registrar, they are responsible for maintaining an accurate and up-to-date register of charities. This includes deciding whether organisations are charitable and should be registered. They also remove charities that are not considered to be charitable, no longer exist or do not operate.

The Commission’s purpose is a statement of what they stand for:

To ensure charity can thrive and inspire trust so that people can improve lives and strengthen society.

The Charity Commissions strategic objectives are:

• Holding charities to account
• Dealing with wrongdoing and harm
• Informing public choice
• Giving charities the understanding and tools they need to succeed
• Keeping charity relevant for today’s world
