the rifty is it a charity or is it not ?

[Inspector Knacker]

( THE RIFTY  it's not a charity or charitable organisation. It's a Community Group. A non-profit that is not set up under the Charitable Trust, CIO or Charitable Company legal structure.

It is a Unincorporated Association  which has no obligation to report to the Charity Commission.)


SO IS THIS HOW THEY ARE GETTING AWAY WITH WHAT THEY ARE ALL DOING

I may be wrong but my understanding is that if the Unicorporated Association receives donations in excess of £5000.00 pounds in any one year, they then have to register as a charity, regardless as to how the organisation was originally created.

Surely that must be the case? Otherwise they could have a theoretical income of £40 million a year and no need to declare it. There must be some accountability, even if it's £16.46 in a biscuit tin.

An 'unincorporated association' is an organisation set up through an agreement between a group of people who come together for a reason other than to make a profit (for example, a voluntary group or a sports club).

You don't need to register an unincorporated association, and it doesn't cost anything to set one up.

Individual members are personally responsible for any debts and contractual obligations.

If you make a profit
If the association does start trading and makes a profit, you'll need to pay Corporation Tax and file a Company Tax Return in the same way as a limited company.

So is there a list of members? Surely those with liability must need to be registered as such? Would such an organisation require auditing?

I am glad someone is willing to speak to finally speak out about what is really going on at the Rifty, the Akers Belchers must now answer the questions put to them or even more appropriate would be to stand down

[fred c]

I can only hope Steve and Pam don't hold their breath waiting for an answer from S.A.B.....If anyone should have lost their position as a councillor it should have been him.....Blatant lies about a non existent funeral, even more blatant lies about the mistreatment of vulnerable adults and even more blatant lies about being sick when he was supposed to be attending his Employment Tribunal.....

How decent minded 'Labour Councillors' failed to insist on a full and frank investigation into the circumstances surrounding his dismissal for GIM is beyond most of us and shows them up for lacking any moral integrity whatsoever.

Only in Hartlepool and Only Under a LabMob Councillor....They should hang their heads in shame.

Tha Party always comes first . I suspect a butchers block as leader would be defended, but I repeat myself.

Stand down? What else could they do, would you employ them?
