Charities in Plymouth
A charity is a not-for-profit organisation; therefore, their primary purpose is not to make money.
To function as a charity, they must register with the Charity Commission and have charitable purposes defined in their governing documents.
For more information about charities, please view the Charity Commission website.
To find out more about how they can help you, please contact them using the phone number, email, or website address they have provided.
