Answer
In the last five years the number of registered charities has increased by over 2,000, and the sector’s annual income has grown by over £10bn.
Looking ahead, the Government’s priority is supporting a strong, independent, transparent and accountable voluntary sector. Plans will include a focus on outcomes based commissioning, restoring public trust in fundraising and strengthening the Charity Commission to protect charities from abuse through the Charities Bill.
