How do you start a non profit fundraising charity for cancer, I wanted to do it to gain my experience in medicine and also to benefit my personal statement when I apply uni in the future. But I’m only 15 and have no idea where to start, can someone help! Thank you

Thank you so much! But what does trustees mean and how do I find them, I’m really sorry this is me first time being taught by this.

If you scroll down on that page to (2) Find Trustees you will note that it explains that, "Trustees are responsible for the operation of your charity. They must show they understand their legal requirements."

It then provides the following links:
Check who's eligible to be a trustee and what skills they need to have
Find and appoint trustees
Read about your trustees' legal responsibilities

The information provided really is quite comprehensive. As you read it you will also realise that setting up a charity is no trivial undertaking, and will involve a lot of research and a lot of work.
