Guidance Documents

Please find below guidance documents for your information and advice

The Charities Regulator endeavours to provide guidance and advice relating to all aspects of our work.

The organisation was established under the Charities Act 2009 and we have included a copy of that document here for reference.

If you are considering applying for charitable status, we have produced and published a suite of guidance documents to help with the consideration and submission of your application.  These documents also provide advice about governance and best practice.
