Charity Annual Return Revisions

The Charity Commission is revising the Annual Return form and guidance for charities covering the 2023–2025 period, updating reporting requirements and data collection questions. This consultation-driven process involves changes to how charities report financial and governance information, with associated guidance documents and explanatory notes. The revision affects all registered charities' compliance and reporting obligations.
