Charity Formation/Gift Aid

The Charity Commission describes a charity as ‘an organisation set up to benefit a charitable purpose, a charity’s goals have to be completely altruistic.’

Currently, there are over 160,000 registered charities in England and Wales. Starting up a charity has become a very popular option for people interested in helping others and making a difference to the world.

The type of person that starts a charity is someone happy to put the needs of others above themselves. If this best describes you, then setting up a charity could be the right thing to do.
