Public Accounts Committee

2018 Financial Statements of the Charities Regulatory Authority

9:00 am

Ms Helen Martin:

We have done work on public awareness with regard to registered charities and urging the public to check the register before they give to any organisation that they think is a charity. Earlier, I mentioned that we have a campaign due out next week on clothing collection, with regard to making sure people check the register to ensure the entity is a registered charity. This is something we regularly do. We try to come at it from different angles depending on the number of concerns, which are very high with regard to clothing collections. It is something on which we focused because we could see a particular risk there. Certainly, public awareness around these issues and people checking the register is one of our key focuses.
