[Gllug] info on setup and running a NFP here in the UK

[Caroline Ford]

Charity commission website is a good place to start. You'd have to  
work out why you are charitable which might be hard.

If you don't think you'd get charitable status a company limited by  
guarantee is a standard legal structure. Not sure what the regs are  
for community interest companies.
