Question

This is a chance to change the lives of young peopole in Oxfordshire, i would like to know what government intitatives are in place to help, and what steps to go through to register a charity/group in the UK.

Answer 1

First I would advice you to repost this in the UK section of answers.  Many here in the US could give you poor advice because the laws in your country are different.

Here's a good site that will give you information about current charities in the UK: http://www.charityfundraising.org/  You can contact them and ask for advice on how to get started.  You might even want to consider associating or affiliating with a charity already in existence, because then most of your work will be done for you.

And this next link will give you information on how to register for a charity in the UK: http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/publ...

I hope I've helped and I think it's great you want to help your community and give back to others.  Best wishes to you!
