Copies of this year's Annual Return and Annual Update forms may be downloaded by using the links below. Forms for 2008 and 2007 are specimen forms and should not be used for submission. If you require a paper form for 2008, this can be obtained by using the request slip included in the notice you receive regarding your Annual Return 2008 submission. You can also order a paper form via the Online Services Home Page. Alternatively you can call Charity Commission Direct on 0845 3000 218. We arrange for your paper form to be pre-printed so you should allow up to 4 weeks to receive the form from the date of your request.
Previous years' Annual Returns are also available, if required. If you need to update your charity’s trustee details please do this on the latest Annual Return or Annual Update form or do it online. Simply follow the link to our Online Services Home Page, log on using your secure password and click the View / Amend Charity Details link.
You can also complete and send us your charity’s Annual Return or Annual Update form online. Simply follow the link to our Online Services Home Page.
