Dear Mr MacLean,

Thank you for your email enquiry of 21st August.

The Charity Commission, as the regulator of charities, does not supply
courses to charities and so the information you have requested is not
available from the Commission.

If the charity has entered into contracts with another organisation for
the provision of training courses you should approach that organisation
(or the charity itself) for the information you require.

Yours sincerely

Tony Robinson

Dear Mr MacLean

Further to our email response dated 30 August 2008, please
accept our apologies for the misinterpretation of your original freedom
of information request.

I can confirm that the Charity Commission has made 6 payments
totalling £16,426.50 to Common Purpose. These payments are detailed
below by calendar year:

Year Amount

2000 £2,937.50 (1 payment)

2002 £8,636.25 (3 payments)

2004 £4,852.75 (2 payments)

I have attached copies of the invoices for 5 of the payments
made to Common Purpose. Personal data has been redacted in line with the
Data Protection Act 1998. I have also redacted the bank account details
of Common Purpose. Please note that there is not a copy invoice for the
payment made in 2000 as it has been destroyed in line with our
accounting policy.

Yours sincerely

Margaret Eccleston
