The Charity Commission is this summer improving its online Charity Update Service. The new service will allow charities to check their details, including the names and contact details of their current trustees, regularly, and to update any information as it changes.
The changes will ensure that trustees’ details are up to date and uniform for all the charities they represent. Trustees’ email addresses will be used to tell them about changes other people make to their record.
The new service will also require a named individual as the contact for a charity and will separate the public address details for this individual, from that of the charity.
The system will retain trusted third party contacts. In the initial launch of the new service, these will not be available to change, so the Charity Commission recommends charities checking now that these details are correct.
