Welcome

"Welcome to the Charity Commission's public affairs website. Whether you are an MP or Peer, work in Parliament or Government, or simply have an interest in politics and the charitable sector - this site has been designed to help you.

"We will regularly update the site to keep you abreast of all the major political developments affecting the sector, and provide you with the key facts and figures relating to our work. For MPs and their staff, we have created a series of factsheets designed specifically to help you answer your constituent's queries as promptly and effectively as possible.

"I' d also encourage you to visit the Commission's main website, http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/, which contains lots of useful information and publications relating to the Commission's work.

"So have a look around, and if you have other ideas about what you want to see on the site, please do get in touch."

Dame Suzi Leather, Chair
