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 Wakefield, so a few based elsewhere with a Wakefield contact appear, and Wakefield 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.
