Yes to both. Nothing's changed here - the company continues to be limited by
guarantee, with the same company number as before, and on top of that it's recognised
as a charity, with a charity number.
3) Is the Charity planning to become a
"Charitable Incorporated
Organisation" in 2012 (subject to the secondary legislation being passed
by Parliament)?

We've talked about this before (it's something we were even thinking about back in
2008 when we were setting up the company), but we haven't made a formal plan/decision,
and personally I'm not sure there's much point doing that until there's a
definite date for when the option will become available to us.
Thanks,
