Subject: Do I have to be a UK national to start a non-profit association?
we are a group of non British nationals who would like to start a non-profit association that involves building and volunteering in the communities we are part of, is it possible to do so??
Thanks

I have not come across any such requirement that the promoters of a non-profit shall be British nationals. To be sure, please visit:

Hi amaknee, you might find our getting started with setting up an organisation section of the site useful. Best of luck with your new organisation, do let us know how you get on.

Dear Amaknee
You can set up an unincorporated charity providing the majority of the Trustees are resident in the UK. In your case it would be advisable to set up an incorporated Charity because the Trustess can be based outside of the UK or be non UK nationals.
I hope this helps.
