The Regulator for Charities in England and Wales
The Annual Return is made up of three parts (Parts A, B & C), how many of these parts a charity received or had access to is based upon their income in the previous financial period ending in 2005. Follow the link to find out more information about what charities need to submit to the Charity Commission for 2006 financial year ends.
The information given by charities may be recorded on the Register of Charities, which is open to public inspection at our offices and on our website. Please note we will not make available to the public the charity’s bank details, trustees’ addresses and telephone numbers or dates of birth.
For the Annual Return 2006, we split the “charity contact” details into two parts. We distinguished between charities with an individual as contact and those with an organisation as contact (e.g. a firm of solicitors or the charity’s office address). This was in response to the growing number of charities wishing to use an organisation as a point of contact on the Register of Charities.
We are also asking all charities working with vulnerable beneficiaries whether they check new trustees with the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB). The CRB issues two levels of disclosure. For a description of each and to clarify which is suitable for your charity visit the CRB website or call the CRB Information Line on 0870 90 90 811.
