The money is in the bag

Happy Staffie Rescue, thanks to the generous and wonderful support of donors and volunteers has raised the minimum £5,000 required to registered as charity with the Charity Commission.

Now the paperwork! I thought the application would be straightforward, but time is needed on explaining our aims and how our Objects will be achieved. I have to demonstrate that the services of the charity do not neglect people in poverty, that there are no private benefits to those involved, that the benefits are balanced against detriment and harm. And much, much more.

I'm on day 2 of doing the form. Four Objects each have to be explained in detail. I hope to get the form completed before the weekend is out and get the directors to agree its content and then sign it off. Then we wait.
