Title: Home Office: Charities (CHA, CTS and CHC Symbol Series) Files
Description:

Files from the Home Office CHA, CTS and CHC (Charities) series.

The files relate to Home Office involvement in the appointment of Charity Commissioners, the introduction of legislation, and the control and monitoring of all charitable organisations. As well as these functions, the Home Office also has the task of advising and providing guidance for individual charities, and the Charity Commission itself.

The distinction between the CHA and CTS series is that the CTS series was used for registering papers relating to house-to-house collections, and the CHA series was used for all other papers relating to charities.

Date: 1939-1995
Arrangement:

The papers in this series are arranged in numerical order by departmental file number. Papers in the CHA series are placed before those in CTS. The inclusion of a date preceding a file number (as in (1960)1/4/1) indicates that the year in which the file was created was included in the file reference number. Thus the full departmental reference of a file listed as CHA (1960) 1/4/1 would be CHA/60 1/4/1.
