The Charity Commission is the independent, non-ministerial government department that registers and regulates charities in England and Wales. Its purpose is to ensure charity can thrive and inspire trust so that people can improve lives and strengthen society.
Section 76(3)(g) of the Charities Act 2011 gives the Commission power to appoint interim managers to a charity.
