The Charity Commission has launched an extended public register including additional information about individual charities. Register entries will show any regulatory alerts issued against a charity, as well as the number of staff that receive annual remuneration above £60,000, and whether any trustees are paid for their services to the charity.
This is one of a number of steps that the Charity Commission is taking to seek to improve the way it makes information about charities available to the public.
Charity trustees should be reviewing the information held on the register about their charity and updating any outdated information.
