Charitable Trusts Register

We launched the new Charitable Trust Register website on 30 September 2019.

If you’ve used this register before, you may notice some changes to the way it looks and operates. Registering and maintaining your charitable trust board can now be done online, as well as manually. To use our online services you'll need to have an online services account.

To incorporate a charitable trust board you must submit an application, along with the required documents.

A trust board can be established by individuals (trustees) or by an unincorporated society. There are different requirements for each when applying for incorporation.

Once you've registered your charitable trust board, you're required by law to keep certain information about it up to date.

This includes your addresses, your board’s name, and any changes to the trust or the trust board’s rules.
