Well, the Charity Commission continues to improve its website. If you use the online
contact form (for example, to request a copy of the governing document for a grantmaking
trust), the Charity Commission now provides a summary of your enquiry when they 
send you an acknowledgement. Marvellous! It helps to keep track of any delays in
dealing with enquiries.

The Charity Commission recently announced that they would no longer prioritise such
requests from freelancers. Unfortunately that might mean that fundraisers must apply
for these individually rather than being able to rely on information provided by
[The Trust List](http://www.newcharities.org/) from newcharities.org or New Trust
Update from [Factary](http://factary.com/). I am surprised that they do not charge
£1 per document as is the case with Companies House Direct.
