Small charities, BIG QUESTIONS and Birthday cake!
Yaarah Schools was lucky to be invited to attend the Small Charities Coalition ‘Small charities, BIG Questions’ event on the 20th of January 2010. It gave us an opportunity to have a question and answer session with the Charities Commission and the HMRC. We were able to get a better understanding of the ways in which both operate in relation to Yaarah Schools and broaden our knowledge in certain areas. Read more >>
