Commission publishes Strategic Plan for 2012-15

The Charity Commission has today published its Strategic Plan for the next three years, up to 2015.

Its sets out the Commission’s two key strategic priorities going forward, which are:
Developing the compliance and accountability of the charity sector and developing the self-reliance of the charity sector.

The Plan sets out the regulator’s new vision, mission and values, with the vision being ‘Charities you can support with confidence’.

The publication of the Strategic Plan follows the Commission’s extensive Strategic Review consultation which began in October 2010 and involved numerous charities, professional advisors, umbrella bodies and members of the public.

Sam Younger, chief executive of the Charity Commission, said: “This is a clear, understandable plan for the future which explains our role in acting on behalf of the public when regulating the charity sector.

"We are grateful for the input of all those who have shared their thoughts with us about what our future priorities must be, taking into account our reduced funding position over the next three years.

"This plan should give the public confidence in what they can expect to see both from us and from the charities they are interested in regardless of whether they are a donor, volunteer or employee or beneficiary.”

The new Strategic Plan is published today on the Commission’s website here
