Every organisation on Northern Ireland's charity register, from the public record

Northern Ireland charities

The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (CCNI) publishes the register of every charity in Northern Ireland - separate from the England and Wales Charity Commission and from OSCR in Scotland. This is that register of organisations.

This edition maps organisations, not people

This edition maps Northern Ireland's registered organisations. It does not show who governs them. CCNI publishes each charity's trustees on that charity's own register page, but CCNI's copyright statement explicitly excludes the Register of Charities - including the People tab - from its permission to reuse. That is a licensing boundary, not a technical one: we have not harvested trustee names at scale because CCNI has not cleared their reuse, so this edition carries no person, no board and no appointment for Northern Ireland. Every organisation below links to its own CCNI page, where its trustees are published directly by the regulator.
