SPECIAL BULLETINS TO UPDATE PCCS REGARDING REGISTRATION

This page provides guidance on specific issues that arise relating to registration, and bulletins will be produced to provide further guidance on particular issues as and when issues arise during the process of registering PCCs. 

Bulletin 1 : October 2008

The Charity Commission have changed one of their questions relating to the Governing Documents. To the question "Have you changed objects, trustee remuneration, dissolution clause or power of amendment?" you should answer "No".  Click here for full details and a screenshot.

Bulletin 2 : November 2008

The pdf guide to online registration is now in version 4. Bulletin 2 clarifies what has changed for those working from an earlier version. 

Bulletin 3 : March 2009

The Church Representation Rules allow for members of the PCC to be aged from 16, but this is not the norm in the wider Charity Sector.  Although these PCC members are full trustees, the Charity Commission's OLAR system doesn't allow their birth dates to be submitted electronically. Whilst they are working to fix this, PCCs should follow the process described in Bulletin 3. 

Bulletin 4 : July 2009

A briefing for Single Congregation LEPs on their process for registration is now available. This is Bulletin 4.  The Online Registration Guide has been updated to reflect changes to the screen on private benefit received by trustees.
