Dear Parents and Carers,
Following a long registration process we are delighted to announce that St Joseph’s PTA has been registered with the Northern Ireland Charity Commission. Our registered name is St Joseph’s Primary School (Holland Drive) PTA and our registered charity number is NIC108594. We will now be recording this number on our stationery, information and fundraising materials.
There are many benefits for the PTA arising from Charity Commission registration including;
- increased public trust and confidence, potentially leading to increased public donations or other support;
- a Northern Ireland charity number, which can be used on literature and elsewhere to indicate that we are effectively regulated and have been through a process to determine charitable status; and
- the opportunity to avail of tax breaks such as gift aid.
From a parent and carer perspective it gives you the added confidence that any funding you provide is collected, managed and dispersed according to the strict governance and accountability regulations that govern a registered charity.
You can find our registration details on the Charity Commission website here: Charity Details | The Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (charitycommissionni.org.uk).
Many thanks for your continued support,
St Joseph’s PTA
