The Lisa Wilson Scholarship Fund given Charitable Status.

After a long protracted procedure Lisa's Scholarship Fund has now been recognised by the Charities Commission and awarded Charitable status. This should enable donations to go a lot further by claiming tax relief. It also is likely to receive more support as a local charity in this area where there are so many deserving causes.
