Charities recorded as insolvent or in administration
These charities carry an insolvency or administration flag on the Charity Commission register, and all remain on the register. A flag is the Commission's record, not a judgement: charities enter administration or become insolvent for many reasons. Figures are the latest each charity reported. Thinking of donating to one? Open it to check its status first.

Check a charity before you donate
Search the register, then open any charity for its status, income and whether it is flagged insolvent or in administration. The record only; not an endorsement.
Methodology & sources
- Source: Charity Commission for England and Wales, full register. Scotland (OSCR) and Northern Ireland (CCNI) keep separate registers we do not include here.
- As of: 17 Aug 2026. The register syncs from the corefi warehouse daily.
- Insolvency flag: the “insolvent” and “in administration” markers are the Commission's own. We state the flag and link the record; we draw no conclusion about the charity.
- Scope: parent registrations only (linked / subsidiary charities excluded). Income and spend are the latest each charity reported, not the same period across charities.
- Charity numbers link to the official Charity Commission record; where a charity is also a company, the Companies House number links to its filing.
