Why aren’t you registered as a charity or company?

We operate as an unincorporated mutual aid group, so we are not registered as a legal entity. Initially, this was because we weren’t expecting to last very long – we assumed a genocide would be internationally condemned and quashed and our aid would only be needed temporarily. As we’ve developed, we’ve learnt that being unincorporated allows us to be more agile, which is especially important given the complex political nature in Gaza, Palestine. However, we have established various lines of accountability. See below.
