Dear Mr Simpson

I am pleased to inform you that the above has now been registered under registration number 1126212 . Written confirmation follows by first class post.

Please note that the information may take a few days to appear on our website.

As a part of the Commission’s drive to continue to improve the service that it provides to customers we would be grateful if would take a few moments to complete the attached Customer Satisfaction Survey

We have been given Charity Status!!!

I love the Charity Commission. I will give them top marks in their customer survey.

Now all we need to do is raise the cash…

Sally Braithwaite – Child’s i Foundation CHAIRMAN
Sally is Operations and Finance Manager for Channel 4 News

Jo Ralling – Child’s i Foundation TRUSTEE
Jo is Head of Production at Jamie Oliver’s TV Company Fresh One.

Hazel Buck – Child’s i Foundation TRUSTEE
Hazel is my wonderful Mum and head of Community Fundraising. Now she just needs to learn to blog and transfer her village experience to the internet – we’ll watch her progress with interest.

All we have to do is wait for the CRB checks to be processed, then we can send the application off to the Charity Commission.

I can’t believe this is actually happening. Every day I take a step closer toward my dream. I’ve realised the best way to deal with this mission is to break it down into small, manageable tasks. There is an African proverb which says:

“If you are going to eat an elephant..start with his toes”.

I feel like I’m just nibbling away at its toenails.
