Charity Commission information for your charity

The Charity Commission holds information on your charity. This is either:

• shown on your charity바카라 사이트™s page on the public register of charities, for example who your charity바카라 사이트™s trustees are
• only for the Charity Commission바카라 사이트™s records, for example all trustees바카라 사이트™ contact details

If anything changes, you need to let the Charity Commission know by updating these details online.

Use the online service

You can sign into the new My Charity Commission Account to access online services for your charity.

If you don바카라 사이트™t have an account find out how to request one

When you submit your changes, we바카라 사이트™ll email:

• the person who made the change
• your charity바카라 사이트™s contact
• any trustee or contact whose personal data you바카라 사이트™ve changed

Details you need to keep up-to-date

Trustees

Only the trustees바카라 사이트™ names are shown on the public register.

Whenever a trustee stops being a trustee you need to remove their details. If you get a new trustee, you need to add their details.

If a trustee is also a trustee for other charities, any changes you make will automatically update their details for all the charities that person is a trustee for.

We need this information for every trustee:

• title (optional)
• given name
• family name
• suffix (optional)
• home address
• email address
• phone number
• date of birth
• date they started as a trustee at your charity

You must give the trustee바카라 사이트™s full legal name.

If using their legal name would cause a trustee personal danger, they can apply for permission to use a display name.

We use trustee email addresses to:

• let them know when their details have been updated
• send a quarterly email update
• send emails with regulatory information

If a trustee does not have an email address

If one of your trustees does not have an email address you need to confirm this in the service. You need to:

1. Leave the email field blank for that trustee.
2. Click confirm at the bottom of the page.
3. Return to the email field, and tick the box that has appeared underneath it, to confirm the trustee does not have an email address.
4. Click confirm at the bottom of the page again to save.

Details for role of charity contact

The Charity Commission has one person on record as the contact for each charity. This is not shown publicly on the register. Your charity바카라 사이트™s password for our online services is always sent to the charity contact. If your charity contact changes, you need to name a new contact in the service so that you바카라 사이트™ll be able to reset your password if you need a new one.

If the charity contact is also a trustee you can choose to use the same email address for both roles or have different ones.

We need this information for the charity contact role:

• title (optional)
• given name
• family name
• suffix (optional)
• home address
• email address
• phone number
• date of birth
