[QUOTE="IANTO, post: 84595, member: 942"] The whole issue of Charitable Status needs to be looked at. There are thousands of "Animal Charities" in the UK from the RSPCA, RSPB, CATS PROTECTION to Local Sanctuaries. Some do good work, while others simply provide a living for those that run them. They all benefit from Tax Breaks in the form of Gift Aid, Rates Relief and Inheritance Tax concessions. Anybody can Register a Charity. Providing you have a Constitution, and your "Objects Clause" fits the current requirements, you are Home and Dry. (I have been involved with registering several Local Organizations, involved with the Arts, Education or Local and Family History etc., as Charities over the years.) Get the wording right, and I have no doubt it would be possible to Register a Charity known as SEHVBH&F. (The Society for the Education and Humane Treatment of Vegans, Bunny Huggers & other Freaks.) It would qualify under several headings. Educational, Religious - providing you start a new sect., Public Interest and Medical Research. Might be interesting to try, as it does not cost anything and only requires Form Filling. Once Registered there is little or no Control. Providing you submit Annual Accounts, and Reports, they leave you to get on with it. [/QUOTE]
