This tool queries the official Charity Commission for England and Wales public API in real time. Every result is live data — not a cached copy — so you always see the current registered status of any charity in England or Wales.
A Registered status means the charity is currently recognised and active with the Charity Commission. A Removed status means the charity has been deregistered — it may have wound up, merged, or been removed for compliance failures. Always check the registration date and removal reason if a charity shows as removed before engaging with them.
Financial figures are self-reported by the charity in their annual return. Very small charities (income under £10,000) may not be required to submit full accounts, so financial data may be limited. For charities with income above £25,000, audited or independently examined accounts are required and available on the Charity Commission register.
Charity numbers in England and Wales are typically 6–7 digits. Scottish charities use the prefix SC and are registered with OSCR, not the Charity Commission — this tool covers England and Wales only. For Northern Ireland charities, use the CCNI register.
Before you partner with, fund, or benchmark a charity, you need verified registration data from the right regulator. FundRobin helps teams check Charity Commission for England and Wales records quickly, then connect that due diligence to grant discovery and proposal workflows.
The Charity Commission register covers England and Wales. Scottish charities are registered with OSCR, and Northern Ireland charities are registered with CCNI. FundRobin keeps that jurisdiction boundary explicit so due diligence teams do not mistake one UK regulator for another.
A charity registration check helps funders and partners confirm active status, registered objects, trustees, public contact details, and recent financial reporting. It is a practical first step before awarding a grant, entering a partnership, or comparing organisations in the same field.
FundRobin brings discovery, fit scoring, proposal drafting, documents, and follow-up into one customer workflow so teams can act on funding intelligence instead of copying it between tools.
