Becoming a Charity

We are delighted to announce that, following The Friends of Broomfield Park application to the Charity Commission, we have been given the green light to proceed.

Progress so far has been much quicker than anticipated; our charitable aims and objectives have been reviewed and accepted as suitable to become a registered charity. However, there is still a considerable journey to undertake – including registering initial trustees and agreeing our operating model with the Charity Commission - before we finally arrive as a fully functioning charity. 

Since the AGM in 2023 a group of volunteers have been driving forward the application to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation - a particular type of charity that will ensure we operate in a regulated way - this status will help both with our future fundrasing and also in the development of charitable partnerships.

We plan to have a broader discussion soon, which will enable all members to learn about the changes and contribute ideas as we prepare to operate as a charity - look out for more information nearer the date.
