the rifty is it a charity or is it not ?

[jawsbbc]

at risk of getting my sorry a** kicked
it's a scam
all I can say is he is either a blithering idiot that thinks he will get away with it or he has a bl**dy good bent accountant

I do hope that you've evidence of either (or both).

evidence of him being a blithering idiot check the history
evidence of him having a bent accountant behave you pay them to cover your tracks

i was PM THIS THIS MORNING   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.

[Devils advocate]

Unincorporated associations

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.

Does such a body need have to have registered members?
How many 'local youths' are recipients of their benevolence?
If you don't need to register, how can the inland revenue know if you even exist?

Does the community centre have a manager?

Did a child type it on his behalf?

[WhatTheHeck]

Did a child type it on his behalf?

Short answer, No, he did it all by himself.

The traits stand out, as can be seen by the poor grammar, missing words and poor structure, his style of writing is consistently poor and hasn't changed.

So if the 'Rifty' is one of these, https://www.gov.uk/unincorporated-associations it would still need some form of accounting otherwise how would they know if there were in profit and liable for taxation.

I would also ask who monitor these organisations, or are they self regulating and therefore open to financial abuse by those running them ?

Prior to the business opening in this particular location, could any ndividual apply to use these facilities to run a similar business in the same location?

And that's before the Mayor's contribution ...

[fred c]

This particular businees / organisation really needs to be looked into, if Re-gen and Neighbourhoods Services are the council committees, why are they contributing public money to a councillors pet project....the same project that recently received £10,306 from Big Fibber Becks Mayors fund.
