Search the register by constituency

This search allows you to find charities based on:

  • the postcode of their named contact
  • the parliamentary constituency of the named contact
  • the local authority area of the named contact

Many charities operate in small local areas. For charities that work in limited areas the contact will often live in or close to that area and this search will help you to find such charities.

Please note that this search will not identify all the charities that operate in your area. To find major national charities, international charities and those that provide key services you should use the main advanced search page
