Report serious wrongdoing at a charity as a worker or volunteer
Find out what sort of wrongdoing you can report to the Charity Commission, and how to report it.
Report your concern to the Charity Commission
and answer these questions:
What is the name of the charity? Include its registration number if it’s registered.
What is your name?
What is your telephone number?
Only include this if you would be happy for us to contact you directly - for example, it is not a work environment.
What is your role at the charity?
If you no longer work for the charity, please tell us when you left.
Are you a charity employee or a volunteer?
What is your concern?
What impact does it have on the people the charity helps, its assets, services, staff or reputation?
Have you followed your charity’s complaints procedure or raised it with the charity’s trustees?
What was the response?
If you have not raised it with your charity, please explain why not.
Have you contacted other organisations, like the police or HMRC? Include reference numbers, the name of who dealt with it, and their response if you have.
Do you give permission to us to reveal your identity to the charity’s trustees?
If you attach evidence to your email, how is it relevant to your concern?
