Charity Status Approved
Good news: After months of preparation and more months of waiting we finally got our charitable status yesterday.
Not only does this mean that our work is recognised as being charitable, but by being a registered charity in the UK it enables us to register at JustGiving (which will help our fundraisers raise money online), allows us to claim back GiftAid (the government will give us back 28p for every pound donated by UK taxpayers) and it will enable us to apply for funding and grants from a wider range of organisations.
Being a fully fledged charity opens up so many more opportunities for us now to continue our work and help us grow.
