The Charity Commission has opened a consultation on proposed changes to the 2023 Annual Return, and we encourage you to have your say.
You can see all the proposals, and how to respond at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/charity-commission-revisions-to-the-annual-return-2023-25/annual-return-2023-consultation#proposed-revisions-to-questions-on-income-and-operations-outside-england-and-wales, but just one reason to take part is that there is a proposal to very significantly increase the number of questions you may have to answer; the core questions could double from 16 to 32, and some charities will need to answer 52 questions.
The Charity Commission needs to undertake its role as regulator, and is inviting responses to its proposals for the first time since 2017, don’t miss out!
