good afternoon everyone hope you're all doing well welcome to this video where i'm going to be discussing how to start a charity in the uk now a charity is something that a lot of people want to do a lot of people want to set up to better the world whatever your goals and motive i'm gonna give you six steps that you have to fulfill in order to start a charity in the united kingdom so the first one is setting up a board of trustees now a board of trustees are essentially the people running your business essentially when charities are started they usually start off with one a chairman who oversees the whole operations an executive director which is usually an expert in the field so for example if you're starting a charity to save the rainforest you might get in touch with somebody that has worked at a very senior level an order in order for them to sort of run the charity and provide advice around that also later on you will provide you'll be having someone in place as a managing director somebody to run the whole operations on a day-to-day basis now in order for that to be done you need to secure a charitable purpose which is the second point now a charity can only be run if there is an end goal in mind charities often get a lot of tax breaks in the uk so you have to be clear in terms of who you're helping what service you're going to provide to the overall community if you can't fulfill that not to say you can't set up a not-for-profit organization so do your research base that around that and see what you can come up with with that now the third point is pretty obvious but you want to set up a name now in order for you to do that you want to go on the government website you want to make sure that in terms of your name it isn't taken by another organization that can you know cross-match that can be an issue legally later on so you just want to do your research have a search on the government website and see what you can find on that um the fourth one is the structure of the organization who you're going to have employed are you going to have employees are you going to take a salary all this needs to be outlined in that and 0.5 is probably the most important you're going to need a what is called a rule book now a rule book is sort of like a white paper it sort of road maps what you want to achieve how you're going to help people what service you're going to offer and how you're going to do it on a day-to-day basis is pretty much the same as a business plan but a charity business plan it's a rule book you can put ideas values you want to stick by and keep it at that so in order for you to register you want to register on the government website very similar to how you'd register a company and literally just associate yourself with that now if your charity is looking to turn over more than 5000 turnover per year you have to register with the charities incorporated organization that's pretty simple you can go on their website you can find more details about that so in order for you to set up a charity these six points legally have to be met in order for you to sort of sidestep you can start a non-for-profit organization so i hope this video has helped good luck for setting up your your charity and if you've got any questions please do get in touch take care
