Registration
Registration of PCCs with the Charity Commission -
What you need to do
PCCs with gross income in 2007 over £100,000 will be required to register with
the Charity Commission. However, the Office of the Third
Sector have not yet made the Commencement Order which triggers the
process. We anticipate that PCCs will be able to start registering later
in 2008. For the moment, you should do nothing!
The Archbishops' Council have worked with the Charity Commission to
make the process as simple as possible. We have agreed Approved
Governing Documents, and have developed specific guidance notes for Church of England parishes to
use when registering. Please do not try and register before this form is
available - for example, the charitable objects of PCCs are laid down by
statute, and it is important that these are kept as standard.
Two dioceses are piloting the guidance we have provided, and if you
are a parish in Sheffield or Coventry dioceses with income over
£100,000 you can find some resources relevant to you by clicking
