Charity Commission for Northern Ireland
The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland is the independent regulator of Northern Ireland charities. It was established in 2009 under the Charities Act (NI) 2008.
The stated vision of the commission is for "a dynamic and well governed charities sector in which the public has confidence. This is underpinned by effective delivery of its regulatory role".
The commission received the names and details of over 7,000 organisations in Northern Ireland that had previously been granted charitable status for tax purposes (the "deemed list") from HM Revenue & Customs. Compulsory registration of organisations from the deemed list began in December 2013, and it is expected to take three to four years to complete.
The register is publicly available on the CCNI website, and contains the details of those organisations who have so far been confirmed by the Commission to exist for charitable purposes and the public benefit. Members of the public can search the register using a charity's NIC (Northern Ireland charity) number or use the advanced search option to search for charities by name, objects, activities or area of operation.
The commission estimates that there are between 7,000 and 11,500 charitable organisations to be formally registered in total.
The Commission is a non-departmental public body, supported by the Department for Communities. Its main role is to register and regulate the estimated 7,000–10,000 charities working within Northern Ireland. The Charities Act (NI) 2008 created the Charity Commission and the same Act sets out its powers.
The regulation and registration of charities in Northern Ireland will bring the region into line with other parts of the United Kingdom. The Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and the Charity Commission for England and Wales operate similarly in their respective jurisdictions.
The registration process for charities was suspended in 2010, as the Charities Act (NI) 2008 needed to be amended to clarify the "public benefit" test. This was resolved in January 2013, following which a consultation was announced prior to commencing registration on 16 December 2013.
