During January I shall be taking up the role as the trustee/treasurer of a small United Kingdom ( UK ) registered charity. Also a separate trustee role with another charity supporting people with severe disabilities. And thirdly a trustee/governor role with an Independent School who are supporting children and young adults with various speech related problems. This is one of the leading schools of its kind in the UK, also holding charitable status.

With each of these appointments the "Chair" is wanting me to focus on fund raising by means of making use of one of two schemes that I have available.

One of these is an HMRC approved scheme that can provide some immediate exemption from Inheritance Tax as well as giving a tax free 'income' of 5% per annum to the inidividual concerned. Some or all of this 5% per annum 'income' possibly being gifted to the charity.
