Why isn’t the charity registered with the Charity Commission?
In England there are three ways that a charity can be registered – with the Charity Commission, as an Industrial & Provident Society (I&PS) and with HM Customs & Revenue. Other well known organisations that are registered under IP&S Act include St Mungos and Thames Reach Bondway – both London based homeless charities. Quite a number of housing associations are registered as IP&Ss. When Julian House (or Bath Churches Housing Association as it was originally known) was founded, the charity took over the charitable registration of a small local organisation which was in the process of winding down – the Argyle Housing Association. Some of the resources from Argyle HA were used to help to establish the fledging homeless charity that was to become Julian House. There is no doubt that it sometimes caused confusion, having the words Housing Association in the charity’s registered title. People researching the local rental market assumed that BCHA had a large stock of low cost housing availabl
