Charity Commission News

Corporate plan 2006-2008

The Charity Commission has recently issued their corporate plan headlined ‘Creating a Better Society’. This document outlines its strategic direction until 2008 and, as a result, the Commission have set themselves six outcomes as part of this process, which are:

• continually improving services, assisting charities to deliver
• proportionate regulation
• guiding charities in complying with their legal obligations
• sharing knowledge and working together across the sector
• enhancing trustees’ knowledge and understanding

• increasing public understanding and support for charities.

These are all worthy aims and it will be interesting to see the Commission’s progress against these over the next two years.
