The Chancery Lane Project (TCLP) is proud to announce that it gained charity status on 11 September 2023.

Establishing ourselves as an independent charity, after almost three years under the umbrella of the Centre for Innovation in Voluntary Action, is a huge step. We can now develop an organisation that delivers our ambitious vision and mission in the timescales demanded by the climate crisis.

**Ben Metz**, **Executive Director** of **TCLP**, comments:

“_I’m delighted that the Charity Commission has registered The Chancery Lane Project as a not-for-profit distributing company with charitable objectives. This will allow us to access additional funding and support, enabling the staff team, trustees and participating individuals and organisations to realise greater impact, in the UK, where we are registered, and across the world.”_

Our new charity registration number is 1204664. See our filing [here](https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/5211886).
