The Charity Commission:
Making Good Intentions Count

The Charity Commission is an immensely rewarding place to work. Not only do we see the difference charities make, we have an impact on their role in both the UK and abroad. So we understand that charities need more than good intentions to succeed – it’s our job to ensure that they deliver on these too.

A beacon of excellence

Waqar Azmi, Chief Diversity Adviser to the Civil Service, outlines the government’s plans and commitment to diversity

Profile: Piece of a Fast Streamer – Laura Jayawardane

For the past 2 years, I have worked on the Civil Service graduate programme, the Fast Stream. I joined the Fast Stream immediately after completing my degree in International Relations and History at the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE).

When I was appointed to the Home Office as a Fast Streamer, the job lived up to and exceeded my expectations.
