[Closed] Ever tried to get a charity registered with "Just Giving"?

Morning all,

Doing a little bit of work/help with a local charity, and realised that the place where I work will do a "matched" funding thing- so if I raise £350 for the charity, my employer will kick in £350 too. Not bad at all.

Only thing is, the charity needs to be listed with Just Giving for this to work. So, I've been onto the JG website to get it added in...but the thing is, I've no idea how long this might take.

Anyone ever done this, any clues?

I'll ask at work tomo and post a detailed explanation if you can wait a day. It's not my area at work and have never dealt with it before, but I sit next to someone that does. And to be honest it'd be a handy for me to be aware of the process.

Out of curiosity, is it a small charity? Is it registered with the relevant body?

Cheers PM, that would be great.

Yep, its called "Adam's Community Trust", local small charity that just does good things basically round about the town:

http://www.totalgiving.co.uk/charity/adams-community-trust

The second link: I see its listed with "Total Giving", which would be great but it needs to be JG to get the cash from my money-grabbing employer!

Ah- I've just read the link you posted, and it looks like they can get you registered within a day of getting the paperwork to them. I've not sent paperwork 🙁

I think you need to be registered with OSCR first. You have a company number, but I'm not seeing a charity number.

And that pops up as a requirement for Just Giving.

Unless you have an "umbrella group"

Looking at the revenue I think this is ok, iirc if the income is less than £50k you dont need to register. I need to check that but I seem to remember it's not too dissimilar with the set up for VAT registration.

ignore that, I see the registration number now

Edit: no I dont. The number on that page you linked throws up some odd results
