Create a Clear National Early‑Stage Charity Pathway — 9 signatures. Status: open.
Create a clear, nationally consistent early‑stage charity pathway so community groups can begin lawful, safe public‑benefit activity without long delays.
Businesses can register in minutes, but community groups often wait months before they can begin lawful, safe public‑benefit activity. We ask the Government to introduce a national early‑stage charity pathway that provides clear guidance, consistent processes, and timely support for new community groups. A clear pathway would maintain safeguards while reducing unnecessary delays, helping volunteers support vulnerable people, strengthening communities, improving early intervention, and increasing homelessness‑prevention capacity.
