UK Charity Register - England, Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland

All three official UK charity registers in one dataset, from the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR) and the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland:

429,806 registrations as of 19 October 2026 - 396,463 England & Wales (356,260 distinct registered charity numbers - linked charities produce extra rows), 24,960 Scotland, 8,383 Northern Ireland.

Every record carries the charity number, name, registration status and dates, legal form, contact address and postcode, purposes/activities, and the latest reported income and expenditure. For 22,697 England & Wales organisations the latest annual return is joined in full: income breakdown (donations, charitable activities, trading, investments), expenditure breakdown, funds (endowment / restricted / unrestricted), assets, cash and employee count.

Low cost

Notes on the data, from the sources

• One row = one register entry, not always one charity. England & Wales records include linked/subsidiary charities (linkedCharityNumber); 396,463 rows map to 356,260 distinct registered charity numbers.
• Status is normalised. England & Wales publishes Registered / Removed; OSCR publishes Active / Not Submitted / Not Monitored; Northern Ireland publishes an annual-return status such as Received: on time or

  Overdue: 991 days
  , with Removed marking deregistration. registrationStatus reduces these to Registered / Removed; status keeps the raw value. Northern Ireland removals: 1,386.
• Financials are the latest published figures, not audited accounts. Income is reported on 253,602 of the 396,463 England & Wales rows (64% - most removed charities never filed), 23,811 of 24,960 Scottish rows and all 8,383 Northern Ireland rows. The detailed breakdown is available for the 22,697 organisations with an annual-return Part B; elsewhere those fields are blank.
• Daily refresh. All three registers republish daily; every record carries refreshedDate.
• Organisational data. Trustee names are not published in these register files and are not output.
• Licence. Open Government Licence v3 - commercial reuse is expressly permitted, with attribution to the Charity Commission, OSCR and CCNI.
