Hello!
I’m a relatively new Clerk in Kent (started November 24) and I only work in the Trustees Office 3 mornings per week.
I’ve been made aware that due to the Charity applying for and successfully receiving a grant several years ago, this has meant we are a registered provider. Our previous Clerk was told there was no way to remove ourselves from the register, but at a recent TAA course, I learned that we can!
I have downloaded all the paperwork (very usefully supplied by the TAA here), but it looks to be a rather complex process and is asking for some information that I do not know and nor, I suspect, will my Trustees as the grant was received historically to many of their appointments.
I am wondering if anyone else has been through this process and can reassure me that it is worth the pain!
Many thanks and best wishes
