lupestripe | Charity Fundraising Situation

A week ago, I announced that I was looking to set up a charitable organisation that helped other charities raise funds by organising furries to suit at public events. The response has been favourable and we have a few people on board. If you are interested, then please let me know.

Here is the state of play at the moment:

Website: It's being worked on right now and I am hoping it will be up and running early next week.

CRB Checks: These are not a legal requirement and so I am going to hang fire on getting these done at the moment. However, I still think it would be advantageous for us to get them done at some point. As we are a voluntary charitable organisation, this will be free of charge. I have had this confirmed to me from the CRB people.

Charity Status: The legal rigmarole of setting this up is offputting and I can't see the real benefit of doing this, so I am sitting tight for the moment. I have consulted legal advice on this.

Apart from that, I am pretty excited about getting this off the ground. If anyone has any suggestions, tips or interest, then please get in touch :-)
