How do I register to use the PTA Events platform?
The PTA Events platform is exclusively available to Parentkind members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We've heard brilliant things from PTAs, with members telling us it's transformed the way they work. Click here for more information and to register for your own PTA Events website.
Does my PTA need to register as a charity?
In England and Wales it is a legal requirement for organisations engaged in charitable activities, with an annual income of more than £5,000, to register as a charity with the Charity Commission. For more information see Charity Registration - England and Wales.
In Northern Ireland it is now a legal requirement for all PTAs to register as a charity, regardless of size or income level, or whether they have already received charitable tax status from HMRC. There are no exceptions or exemptions, and failure to register could result in High Court Action against your PTA committee members.
