Name of Applicant Organisation: Name of Authorised Representative: Position: Signature: Contact Person (if different): Position: Telephone: Fax: E-mail: Mailing Address: Post code: Charities, please note: Peter Burnell, Senior Lecturer in Politics and Director of Graduate Studies in Politics & International Studies at the University of Warwick wrote in the Oxford Concise Dictionary of Politics (OUP, Oxford 1996): In UK law political objects are not charitable, and so political parties and institutions which exist in order to influence government policy on particular issues (i.e., "pressure groups") cannot normally be regarded as charitable. However, a charity may conduct reasonable advocacy of causes which directly further its objects and which are ancillary to the achievement of those objects [emphasis added]. Charitable status should not therefore be jeopardised by membership of the Campaign. Please print clearly. Signing the Application constitutes an endorsement of the Campaign's aims and the Initiative for Equality & Justice. Send this completed Application to A Fair Hearing, PO Box 54, Cambridge CB5 8BB or, alternatively, fax it to 01223 327042.
