Company information
Charity Commission
We help charities working in every community and across the world to meet their legal requirements and give the public confidence that their money is put to good use. It’s a huge responsibility – and one that gives every member of our workforce enormous influence and impact. Now, as the sector comes under increasing scrutiny, so the scope and profile of our work is growing and changing. Fast.
We are the regulator of charities in England and Wales and maintain the charity register.
We are an independent, non-ministerial government department accountable to Parliament.
As registrar, we are responsible for maintaining an accurate and up-to-date register of charities. This includes deciding whether organisations are charitable and should be registered. We also remove charities that are not considered to be charitable, no longer exist or do not operate.
We work across 4 sites in Liverpool, London, Newport and Taunton and employ approximately 350 people.
