A registered charity? If so what's the number?

When I asked they didnt know what the number was

No were not but need to lookin to it maybe

You should as you could claim gift aid and would encourage others to give as a tax benefit.

I would suggest it would have to become a ' trust ' to become a charity

Well www.hmrc.gov.uk/charities/tax/recognition.htm#1 I will be discussing this very soon with a former employee of HMRC' should we be recognised as a charity it would increase a £5 per month contribution to £6.25' the extra being the basic rate tax the contributor has paid on that £5 and that would be claimed back from the HMRC by LISA and not the individual..

Exactly Frank

Sad to report LISA does not meet the requirements to qualify as a Charity.

It'd be worth £6. 20% relief (i.e a fifth) would earn back £1 under the Gift Aid relief system.

Edit: Unless you're a higher or additional rate taxpayer...like Frank.
Edit II: Just ignore me, I'm an idiot.

Just keep the donations and new memberships coming in, an amazing response so far, our membership is the highest ever and it will make a big difference to the club for the coming year.
Basically the more members we have the better quality team we have on the field.
Simple really and 100 per cent of money raised through LISA goes to players contracts so by far the best way to doante money to the club. If season tickets are £140 for the season then a £5 |LISA membership and a season ticket it costs you £200 for the year @ £16.667 a month and you get LISA coach travel to away games a lot cheaper too. Or for £10 a month LISA membership its £21.667 a month.
