What is an organisation identifier?
An organisation identifier is a unique piece of text that definitively identifies an organisation.
Examples include charity numbers and company numbers.
Identifiers are usually assigned by an external body like a regulator.
Findthatcharity uses the Org ID scheme to create identifiers.
GB-CHC gives the scheme for this identifier (Charity Commission), while 226545 is the identifier for this organisation within the scheme.
This organisation record is based on data from Registered charities in England and Wales published by Charity Commission for England and Wales.
