CaritasData’s CharitiesDirect publishes statistical and financial data on leading
UK charities online.
CharitiesDirect is an information service for use by donors,
charity advisers, charity trustees and everyone else involved with or interested
in the charity sector. The main aim of CharitiesDirect is to present, in as uniform
a format as practicable, statistical, and in particular financial, data on each 
of the leading charities in the UK.

The database from which CharitiesDirect is produced is updated throughout the year
as charities’ annual reports and accounts become available. The resource is produced
by CaritasData, the specialists in charity information, which endeavours to maintain
an up-to-date library of charity annual reports and audited accounts covering the
top 5000 charities.
