Updated guidance and an updated online form to help anyone who wants to raise a concern about a charity

23 July 2025 | Applicable law: England and Wales | 1 minute read

The Charity Commission has updated its guidance on ‘Raising a concern with the Charity Commission’ (CC47) which sets out when to raise concerns about a charity and what the Commission can do in response.

The Commission’s updated guidance and online form signposts help for trustees, employees and volunteers so they know which concerns will need to be raised with other organisations and regulators where the Commission is unable to assist, or when concerns need to be raised via alternative routes (eg for whistleblowing, reports of serious incidents or matters of material significance).

The online form can be accessed via the Charity Commission website here
