King's as a charity

The University is an ‘exempt’ charity under Schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 for the purposes of UK charity legislation. This means that we are not registered with the Charity Commission and have no charity registration number.

Under the Charities Act 2006, King’s and other universities that are exempt charities are regulated by the Office for Students (OfS) as ‘principal regulator’ on behalf of the Commission.
