Charity Commission: Internet

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps a charity can take to remove former trustees from the Charity Commission website once the trustees have been voted out at a general meeting but refuse to remove their names voluntarily.

Answer

Charity trustees of registered charities have a responsibility to keep the charity’s registered details up to date with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Where an individual is no longer a trustee, their details need to be removed from the charity’s registered information on the public register of charities.

If the individual is unable or unwilling to do this, another trustee or someone else within the charity acting on behalf of the trustees can make the change. If the charity has any difficulty accessing digital services they can contact the Charity Commission’s Contact Centre for support.
