Register a charity with Charity Commission

 

If your organization has a charitable purpose, is based in England or Wales, has  an annual income of £5,000 or more, and, is either a trust, company or unincorporated organisation then you must apply to register as a charity with the Charity Commission.

If your organization’s income is below the £5000 threshold, the Charity Commission will not register you unless we set up a charitable incorporated organisation. Under changes brought in by the Charities Act 2006, small charities  (set up as companies, trusts or unincorporated) will eventually have the right to register as a charity voluntarily. This right has not yet come into force. The Charity Commission recognizes that some small charities may have a particular need to be registered charities, so in the meantime, they will consider requests from these charities on a case by case basis.

If your organisation does not have an income over £5000 but you wish to register as a charity forthwith and obtain a charity number, then RG Solicitors can set up a charitable incorporated organisation which is like a limited company but is registered with the Charity Commission and not Companies House.

 

If you are running a non-profitable organisation in UK and want to register it as a charity, Our solicitors can guide you with the structure, aim and objectives and application for registration with Charity Commission.
