Be careful as a charity yes easy to sign up but read the rules VERY carefully and make sure that you have very wide rules of engagement. It is almost impossible to change them and very expensive. Even if you think you probably wont every have a use of something write it in to your rules from the start.

Do not rush to set it up and look at if you may be better off working without until you get the feel of things.

Registering as a charity is actually pretty easy...

Drumming up support and funds not so much!
