The Exempt Charities Order 2025

The Exempt Charities Order 2025, effective February 6th, 2025, designates St Mary's University, Twickenham as an exempt charity under the Charities Act 2011.

This exemption prevents registration with the Charity Commission and limits the Commission's powers, barring advisory roles at the charity's request and inquiries initiated by a principal regulator (in this case, the Office for Students).
