Packages

We offer a number of packages tailored to meet every need you and your charity could have over its life time.

Before going any further we recommend you contact us for a free assessment as to whether what you aim to do is considered to be charitable. There is no point you wasting your time and money if you cannot be a charity.

Bronze – £295

Setting up a Charity, including supplying a suitable governing document with exclusively charitable objectives.  This is suitable for organisations that want to operate as a charity but are not yet in a position to register with the Charity Commission.

Silver – £595

Bronze package, plus applying to register with the Commission, providing them with the all the necessary information and documentation and then dealing with ongoing correspondence until we receive the Registered Charity Number.

Gold – £695

Silver package, plus any of the following policies; Child Protection; Conflict of Interest; Grant Making or Skeleton Business Plan Framework.

We are increasingly recommending the Gold Package as the Charity Commission are becoming more and more rigorous in what they will accept as a charity and if an organisation can demonstrate it has robust policies and procedures the more chance there is of a speedier and successful registration.

Platinum – £995

Gold package, plus online support for the first 15 months on general charity matters.

Additional Services

Gift Aid Registration with HMRC – £125

We complete the HMRC application form on your behalf to tell the taxman the right information to get your charity registered for Gift Aid, which gives you an extra 25% on top of your donations.    This service is currently unavailable.

Business Plan Framework – £95

The Charity Commission is increasingly expecting to see a well-developed Business Plan with registration applications.  We have a “skeleton” business plan which meets with the requirements of the Commission and we can provide this for trustees to flesh it out so it is tailored to the individual needs of the charity.

Professional trustees training

Having competent and professional trustees who are aware of their legal responsibilities is essential for a well-managed charity that delivers its goals of helping others. If you would like your trustees to receive professional training then please contact us to discuss costs and arrangements.
