Hi everyone,
Just to let you know that I've got the ball rolling so that we can become a NPO (non-profit organisation). This means we can start fundraising very soon and also apply to become a charity once we've met the criteria.
This is really exciting news, but we do need your help to get us there!
Basically, we need near on £50 to register the appropriate name, become a NPO limited by guarantee and to get the paperwork done. So far we have raised half of that thanks to David, Keeley and Steve. However, if just 25 of you could donate £1 then we can finally become registered and get lots of fundraising ideas underway for our meet ups, leaflets, other marketing and all that jazz.
If you could donate just £1 then please, please let me know and I'll send you the relevant details. It will be going through my business (so we can't get into trouble for fundraising before we're registered) and then the business will pay for our registration. If that makes sense!
I would never normally ask for your own donations, but we've seen another group (wanting to be a charity) called Minds Like Ours and we need to get our name registered before they do!
Thank you so much in advance.
Bex x

I would if I could. My rent is about 2 weeks overdue, so I really can't

Wow, what an incredible response. Was not expecting that, thank you all! I have sent you all the relevant details.
Hopefully we will be able to hit our goal in the next couple of days, which means I can start the ball rolling and have some exciting news next week. Fingers crossed!

Just to let you know that any funds that are raised from this, above what we need, will be going to a registered company address. We need this to become an organisation, but that way none of the trustees or directors will have to use their home address and we'll also get a snazzy London address for people to send their post too Soooo exciting!
