The Charity Commission for England and Wales is the independent regulator of charities in our country. We strive to ensure that donors can trust charities, so that people’s money and energy goes into activities that work for them, their communities and the public good. Our team of professionals are on hand to help you with any questions about starting or running a charity in England and Wales. We offer free guidance, online support materials and resources, as well as providing advice to guide all charities through the process of application, registration and ongoing compliance.
