New charity commission website

The Charity Commission has launched its new, easier to use, website at www.charity-commission.gov.uk.

Information on how to find a charity, register a charity, complete an annual return, change charity details and how to complain about the Commission and about a charity, is now prominently displayed on the Commission’s homepage.

The new website also includes 70 new articles offering guidance on common tasks and pointing readers to where more detailed guidance is available, as well as interactive guides on matters such as preparing accounts.

Before the end of March 2014 content from the Commission’s website will be integrated with the central government website gov.uk, but the Commission has been reassured that it will be exempt from adopting government branding and information on the government site will link back to the Commission’s website.
