Charity Connection – New Year, renewed focus

Happy New Year ??

Wishing you a happy New Year from all of us at the Charity Commission. We look forward to another inspiring year from charities right across England & Wales.?

In this edition, we encourage you to think about how you can get the most out of 2025 - for you, your charity, and the causes you care about.

Also in this issue:

  • donate with confidence
  • watch our Annual Public Meeting
  • protect your charity with updated fraud and cyber crime guidance



Get the most out of 2025!

As another year begins, it’s the perfect time to look ahead and reflect on what your charity needs to succeed in 2025. What opportunities or challenges may lie ahead?

It’s also an opportunity to focus on your personal development. Whatever your role, we encourage you to explore our guidance, as you think about the skills or knowledge you can develop that could help support your charity achieve its goals.

If you’re a trustee and not sure where to begin, why not brush up on the essentials with our 5-minute guides or start with our interactive quiz?

Perhaps there’s a specific topic for you to delve into. For example, if your charity has investments, is it time to improve or refresh your knowledge about this topic? Or could this be the year to review your charity’s use of social media?

From accepting donations to working with other charities; we have guidance on topics from A to (almost) Z. Explore by theme or 'search all guidance' to filter and sort by keyword, date and most viewed:

It is obvious that both the The Children's Society & its CEO Mark Russell from my own experience with them have only their own self serving interests at the forefront of their aims. I have unfollowed this organization as it refuses to engage with individuals & it is frankly a waste of time to try to support them. They really couldn't care less about anyone but themselves and simply immerse themselves in middle class corporate speak which is of no benefit to anyone & frankly they simply remove any kind of comment which questions what they are doing which is totally appalling for a charity but what do you expect when someone like Mark Russell is their CEO sadly. I frankly wont be wasting any more time with trying to engage with them & I urge all other professionals to do the same as there are far better organisations than this reaching out to our vulnerable young people.

Great news something are be updated. Some trust work hard for others. The some go under the radar. A wolf in sheep clothing. Great Manchester Victorin building have more support then most trust near do not receive public funding and run by Events management a hijack of a grand II building running Events with little on none Going back in to the project more ego's and titles. Whishing the very best to hardworking charitys for 2025 .get to see a body looking behind the shopfront.
