The Charity Commission has changed its main contact number so that callers will 
pay only a local rate.
The new number is 0845 3000 218. Previously the 200,000 or
so callers who contacted the Commission each year were charged at national rate.
Minicom users can contact the Commission on 0845 3000 219. Calls to the former number
will be automatically redirected.

Nick Allaway, responsible for information and corporate services at the Charity 
Commission, said: “This is the latest in a series of changes since the Charity Commission
began a review of its activities late last year. Since then, we’ve been working 
to steadily improve the services we provide to our customers, and ensure that these
are responsive and accessible.”
