Notable findings

Patterns that stand out when you look at every UK registered charity at once.

Biggest charities by income

UK charities with the largest reported annual income, taken from the most recent filing.

Largest cause clusters

Causes with the largest number of charities working in them.

Oldest still-registered charities

The earliest registration dates on the register. Many of these date to the 1960s, when the Charities Act 1960 created the modern register.

Recent 2025 removals

Charities removed from the register since the start of 2025 (dissolved, merged, struck off, or voluntarily de-registered), ordered by removal date.

Zombie charities

Charities still on the register with no accounts filing in the last 5 years. By statute they should be filing annually, so any one of these is either dormant, badly managed, or a candidate for removal by the Commission.

Multi-charity trustees

People listed as a trustee on the most charities. (Grouped by normalised name; same name does not always mean the same person.)
