  • a charity, including a Registered Charity, or
  • a steering group (set up to grow into something bigger), or
  • a social enterprise or community business

This course starts by helping you to decide about the type of “group for good”, asks (and start to answer) the questions about how to set up one, continues with setting up an informal community group, and concludes with How to Register a charity or community business.
