Following the success of recent events by patients and staff at Westgate Medical Practice, Dundee, Scotland to raise funds for their colleagues in their twin clinic at Zingwangwa, Blantyre, Malawi we have been exploring ways to take advantage of UK tax relief on charitable donations. We are considering registering as a charity, separate but associated with the Scotland Malawi Partnership, so that donors can claim tax relief and thus increase the amount raised. This would also enable us to raise funds for Zingwangwa using on line interent facilities. Charity status requires that trustees are appointed, accounts audited and regular reports produced. What do you think?

The paperwork for charitable status was completed and delivered to the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator in Dundee on the afternoon of 30 january 2012. We await their decision.
