Next week the Charity Commission will hold its first open board meeting outside 
London and the first in a series of nine regional presentations of its three-year
strategy to charity leaders across the country.

Following the Commission’s recent review of its own activities, the regulator has
recognised that it needs to meet more trustees and charities face-to-face to gain
a better understanding of their priorities and needs.

The York events will start on 24 May with a presentation to an invited list of charity
chiefs by the Commission’s Chairman Geraldine Peacock and its Chief Executive Andrew
Hind. The following day’s open board meeting will address a range of topics from
the Commission’s policy stance on charities providing public services, to promoting
trust and confidence in the 190,000 charities the Commission regulates in England
and Wales.

Geraldine Peacock, chairman of the Charity Commission, said: “There are almost 12,000
charities in Yorkshire, so this is very important area to us in terms of the concentration
and the diversity of charities in the region.”

Hosted by York Council for Voluntary Service (CVS), the evening reception is by 
invitation only. However, members of the public are invited to attend the open board
meeting, starting at 9.30am at York’s Marriott Hotel.
