Charity Status

[private]
As many of you will know the Inspired Living Committee has been working for the last 6 months to obtain charity status so we can really start realising our aims. However, this has proved to be more difficult than we thought it would be and rather than spend any more time fighting this battle we have decided to align ourselves closer to CRUK (Cancer Research UK) instead and are in the process of formalizing ourselves as a CRUK Committee. Once this has been finalized we will have charity status through CRUK and will be able to start accepting donations once the bank account has been set up.

This move will also allow us to start putting on more of the exercise sessions we had planned and to get the support of experienced volunteers from CRUK in ensuring our big events next year are a success. As we had been planning to ensure the money donated to us went to cancer research anyway this seems to be a good move all round and will allow us at Inspired Living to focus properly on our plans once again.
