If your charity has an annual income of more than £10,000 but less than £25,000, you need to complete the annual return form every year. This updates the information made publicly available through the register of charities, including:

• contact and trustee details
• income and expenditure
• area of operation

It also updates information which is not made public, eg trustee addresses.
