Submit a concern about a charity

If you have a concern about a Northern Ireland charity you think meets the criteria outlined in our Concerns about charities guidance, complete the confidential online Concern about a charity: form below. 

• Send us all the evidence you have to support your concern. If you submit evidence to us piecemeal, this prevents us from assessing all the facts effectively.
• Be aware we will not reconsider concerns that have already dealt with unless circumstances have changed materially, or significant new evidence has become available.

• acknowledgement of receipt will be made within 10 working days.

Please be aware when completing the form your session may time out after around 20 minutes of inactivity - if you stop typing or don't move to the next page. Your information will be lost and you will have to start again. Sometimes this happens a bit sooner due to a slow internet connection, browser issues or navigating off the page. The time out helps keep your information safe and secure. A warning will also appear if you exceed the 2,000 character limit in the 'Concern details section'. Supporting documents can be uploaded, and our Concerns about charities guidance is available to help with the appropriate level of detail.

Note: It is an offence to knowingly or recklessly provide false information to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. Please think carefully when completing this form. Make sure the information is accurate to the best of your knowledge, supported by all the evidence you have. If you have doubts about any of your information, it may be worth considering professional advice.
