I also phoned a company which sets up Charities, for a fee of 135 squid. This fee covers the preparation of Memorandum and the Articles of Association, so it not be worth spending this. They would, however, cast yet another experienced eye over our work. Anyroad, the summary of their service can be found here:

Just for the record, this kind of expense falls under the terms of starting budgets for local chapters financed by the Foundation. (see: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter_co-ordinator#Procedure_of_delegation)

Thanks for that. I did wonder if the Foundation could help out with these types of costs.
To clarify: a Company (Charity) creation by an agent (such as the above, Duport Associates Limited) would be 135.00 UK pounds. However, the costs of submitting an application and getting the signatories together (in front of a solicitor) would probably not exceed 50.00 UK pounds.
