How do you change the registered office or organisational details?

Changes of address

You must advise the Registrar of any change to the registered office address for the board within one month of the change.

To enable the Registrar to easily contact the board, it is important that you advise us of changes to the contact address or contact person.

Changes to a trustee's details and other organisational information

Charitable trusts also have the option of provide additional information including:

• The address for premises (for example: the location of the facilities)

When filing those updates online you also have the option of providing:

• A website address for the charitable trust,
• A description of the charitable trust's purpose, and
• The name and contact details of trustees

It is not mandatory to supply this information, it can be a useful way of promoting the charitable trust and providing alternative contact details that will be helpful to both the Registrar and the public.
