Stricter rules for charities mean that the group Gina Spence Productions in Christ (GSPIC) won’t be able to run its “Each One Reach One Back To School” Campaign this year.However, Ms Spence last night told The Royal Gazette the group’s charity registration had yesterday been approved.It was too late for the back to school drive, which last year raised more than $14,000 for school clothes for over 140 children — but which takes GSPIC some six to eight weeks to operate.In the meantime, Ms Spence said the group will focus on other activities.GSPIC submitted in a fresh bid when its registration expired on March 13, but had to supply additional documents months later at the Charity Commission’s request.The group said that “with the change in government and the appointment of new Charity Commissioners, the process of renewing for charitable status has become more stringent” — but Ms Spence added that she was grateful for the Commission’s work, and appreciated that they faced a “mammoth task”.Asked if GSPIC planned to team up with any other school drives, she cautioned: “The challenge we face with that is there are also rules against duplication of services.”With GSPIC still evaluating its position, Ms Spence said the group would get started on Christmas outreach, and concentrate on programmes for scholarships and helping children left behind by gun violence.
