What do I need to have in place to register a new charity?

• A clear statement of objectives which are for charitable purposes in the public benefit.
• An appropriate legal structure – you will need to consider whether to be an unincorporated association, a trust or a company – see below.
• An action plan setting out how you intend to operate, both in terms of fundraising and your activities, to achieve your charitable objects.
• A group of people prepared to be charity trustees responsible for the governing of the charity.
