Nearly 1,000 charities face removal from register

Nearly 1,000 organisations face removal from the charities’ register in the coming months if they have not met a range of requirements by Monday.

Although there has been a major increase in the numbers of charities filing annual reports and accounts, one in six of the 8,452 organisations that had a CHY number from Revenue in 2014 has not done so.

In that year, the requirement to provide registration details and provide an annual report came into effect for any organisation which wishes to remain registered as a charity.
