Closed - Future of the Charity Commission

The Charity Commission’s funding is to reduce by 33% in real terms over the next four years – a reduction of around £8 million.

This requires a radical response from the Commission as it won't be possible to make up for such a loss of income through efficiency savings alone. Sadly, they are likely to have to reduce the number of people they employ by about a third too. But they are committed to remaining an effective modern regulator and want to hear from you about what the Commission should look like in five years.

For that reason, they have launched a consultation, which is set out as a list of questions about the approach they should be taking. This public consultation will enable you to give them your views and help shape the Commission of the future.  It is a unique chance to have your say on how you think charities should be regulated in the future.

Examples of the questions include whether the Commission’s investigations should focus on cases where large amounts of charitable money are at risk, or whether we should investigate all cases where there is evidence that a charity is breaking charity law.
