During recent months we have been working to move CHYPPS from a registered charity to a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee.

Our Company number is 7019515 and our new registered Charity number is 1132468.  We are now in process of updating the information on the Companies House and Charity Commission websites.

We are pleased that many of the original CHYPPS Executive Committee have transferred to the new CHYPPS Board; and have been joined by some new members
