The Regulator for Charities in England and Wales

Getting in touch with us by post

There are many ways to get in touch with us. If you want to contact us about a particular charity please give us as much information as you can, including its name and registration number (see the Register of Charities). Many of the most common enquiries we are asked are covered in our knowledgebase or in our publications which are free to download on our website.

Easier to Email or Phone?

It may be easier and quicker for you to raise your enquiry via email or via our general enquiry phone line. Most enquiries received via these channels are resolved far quicker than those sent via the post. For example we aim to respond to over 70% of emails received within 5 working days and achieve over 90% resolution of general enquiries by the end of the phone call.
