NYFTE is a charity!
In 2023, a charity known as National Youth Folk Troupe of England (also abbreviated to NYFTE) was set up and registered with Companies House and the Charity Commission. At our 2024 AGM we said thank you the interim trustees for their work in setting up the charity, and voted in nine Trustees to continue the running of the charity. It was collectively decided to transfer all the assets from the NYFTE (the existing organisation) to NYFTE (the charity). Once all the assets have been successfully transferred, then the original organisation will be wound up. The charity will operate on similar lines to the original organisation, and so most people will not notice a difference. However, it now means that we will be able to claim gift aid as well as applying for grants and other financial benefits available to charities. Once we are able to claim gift aid, we will let people know.
Our Charity Number is: 1203573
