How to update your charity profile in Charity Admin

How to change your charity's logo, banner image, display name, address and About section in Charity Admin — and how to update details that are locked.

This article is for charity admin users only. You'll need to have been added as an admin on your charity's givestar account to make these changes.

What can I update myself?

You can update the content supporters see on your public givestar profile, including your:

  • Profile image — your logo, which also appears on your Charity Admin homepage

  • Banner image — the large header image at the top of your public profile

  • Display name — the name supporters see when they find you

  • Address — your charity's contact address

  • About — the paragraph telling supporters about your cause and your work

How to update your charity profile

  1. Select Charity Profile from the left-hand menu

  2. Click into the field you'd like to change, or upload a new image

  3. Save your changes

  4. Visit your charity's page on givestar.io to check everything looks right

Why are some fields greyed out?

Some details, such as your registered charity number and registered charity name, are locked. This protects your charity's official details and makes sure they always match your registration.

If any of these details need to change, email support@givestar.io with:

  • Your charity name and registration number

  • The detail that needs changing, and what it should say

  • Your role at the charity

We may ask for proof of the change (for example, an updated entry on the Charity Commission register) before updating your account.

Tips for a great profile

  • Use a clear, high-quality logo so supporters recognise you straight away

  • Choose a banner image that shows your work in action

  • Keep your About section short and specific — what you do, who you help, and what a donation achieves

Having trouble?

  • Changes aren't showing on your public profile — refresh the page or try a different browser, as an older version may be cached

  • Image won't upload — try a smaller file in JPG or PNG format. If it still won't upload, contact us at support@givestar.io
