Charity Commission for England and Wales
Unverified non-profit organisation
Charity Commission is the UK government department which details over 180,000 UK charities. The Commission website lists guidelines and resources for charities, including information relating to UK Laws. Most charities in England and Wales must register with the Commission, which strives to ensure that all operate for the public benefit and independently of government or commercial interests. Charities with yearly incomes over £10,000 must by law submit their annual reports, which are publicly available to help donors inform themselves about individual charities.
