Charities Aid Foundation Grants

Just wondering if anyone has any experience of dealing with them for receiving grant funding? Basically one of my Staff members gets so much money for their employer each year for their voluntary work, the money is paid to that charity. Anyhow, the staff members employer uses CAF to administer this process.

They have given me quite a hefty demands for documents and proof of status before they will release the money etc. I’ve had a look on Bodger which was about as much use as a chocolate teapot, and before my email is lost forever somewhere in Castle Crandiztstein, I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or past experience on what they require, and what I was planning to supply please?

Governing Doc - ACP1?
Accounts - -F60, no issues I hope
Description of Charity - Loads I guess I could use, any sage suggestions?
Trustee selection - extract from ACP etc
Charity No - Have the Sqn excepted no, and ATC top level one if needed
Proof of charity status - They suggest something from HMRC, which we don’t have, therefore ACP extract?
Some kind of PR leaflet etc - easy

Any help and advice is most appreciated! Thanks!
