The Support group is run by a committee. The members of the committee are all members of the group. In other words they have all been affected by Cancer
.
The group is a registered charity, our charity number is 1028101. The benefits of being a registered charity are: -
We do not normally have to pay income/corporation tax (in the case of some types of income), capital gains tax, or stamp duty. Gifts to charities are free of inheritance tax; pay no more than 20% of normal business rates on the buildings which they use and occupy to further their charitable purposes; can get special VAT treatment in some circumstances; are often able to raise funds from the public, grant-making trusts and local government more easily than non-charitable bodies; can formally represent and help to meet the needs of the community; are able to give the public the assurance that they are being monitored and advised by the charity commission; can seek advice from the charity commission; and can get information from the charity commission, for example, the charity commissions range of free publications.
