Everything about the Charity Commission totally explained
The
Charity Commission is the
non-ministerial government department that regulates
registered charities (and hence to some extent most
churches) in
England and Wales.
The Charity Commission answers directly to the
UK Parliament and not to Government ministers, and as a result it's often described as a
quango. It is governed by a board, which is assisted by the Chief Executive (currently
Andrew Hind) and an executive team.
Suzi Leather,
DBE was appointed Chair of the Commission's board on 1 August 2006, after being chair of the
Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and the
School Food Trust.
Geraldine Peacock,
CBE was Chief Charity Commissioner (as previous chairs of the Commission have been known) from 2003 to 2006, and Chair-designate from
8 July 2004 to 2006.
It has four sites in
England and
Wales, in
London,
Taunton,
Liverpool and
Newport. There are public terminals at each site except Newport for accessing the Commission's web site. The commission has on its website the latest accounts submitted to it by charities in England & Wales.
Charities in
Scotland are regulated by the
Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and in
Northern Ireland are regulated by the
Voluntary Activity Unit of the
Department of Health and Social Services at
Stormont Castle.
