Organisation signup · interactive concept

A place for every genuine social cause.

Registered charity, community group or social enterprise: tell us who benefits and we will show the appropriate membership and review route.

1 · Your organisation

How are you organised?

Organisation type

Choose a type to see the evidence route. A charity number is not required for every route.

Who primarily benefits from the proposed role? How is surplus income used?

2 · Proportionate evidence

Show the cause is accountable.

No documents or personal identity details are collected in this preview.

Sample evidence available

Clear social purpose and intended beneficiaries
A responsible contact authorised to represent the group
Evidence of activity, or a credible plan for a new group

Personal email addresses, no website or no charity number are not automatic rejection reasons. A referee or accountable host can support a new group's application; alternative evidence remains available.

3 · Protect volunteers

Check the role as well.

What will the role involve? Safeguarding context

Every published role would need a named supervisor, realistic time commitment, clear expenses policy, accessibility arrangements and an easy reporting route. Checks involving children, adults at risk or sensitive access must be proportionate to the actual role.

4 · Fair membership

Contribute according to means.

Annual organisation income (£) Income evidence Show sponsored-access / hardship route

Income is not profit. All bands use the same eligibility and role standards. Volunteers stay free. No checkout or recurring payment is connected.

How the checks would work in a live service

Automate evidence gathering: validate fields, check supported official registers, compare names and status, detect duplicate applications and record dated sources. Missing or unavailable data stays pending.
Review exceptions: a trained person checks grassroots evidence, new groups, private-benefit concerns, mismatches and higher-risk roles. No AI-only approval or rejection.
Keep membership separate: confirm eligibility before activating recruitment or taking a fee; review income and sponsorship independently.
Keep checking: reassess when roles, ownership or purpose change, and at renewal. Credible reports can pause new publishing while a human investigates, with reasons and an appeal route.
Protect evidence: restricted staff access, proportionate collection, a retention policy and an audit trail. Never publish identity evidence in organisation profiles.

This is proposed platform policy, subject to Reach approval. Legal status alone does not establish whether a particular unpaid role is lawful. Read the government guidance on unpaid work.

Production needs the full Drupal build, configuration, permitted data and workflow review, then secure integrations, case management and tested automation. See delivery readiness.
