Where the figures come from

The Charity Commission publishes the register of charities every day, under the Open Government Licence. We keep charities whose contact address is in County Durham, so a few based elsewhere with a County Durham contact appear, and County Durham branches of national charities may not. Many small charities give a trustee’s home as their address, so we show the street only, and never trustees’ names.
