Vita Nova is a charitable company limited by guarantee, the most common incorporated form for UK charities. It is registered with both Companies House and the Charity Commission, and must file annual accounts with both regulators. Directors (who are also charity trustees) have limited liability.
You can verify Vita Nova in several ways. First, search the Charity Commission Register at https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/ - every charity registered in England and Wales appears here with its registration number, trustees, governing document, and filed accounts. Because this is a charitable company, you can also check its filings on Companies House (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/). Second, check whether the charity's annual return and accounts are up to date - the Commission flags charities with overdue filings. Third, look for the Fundraising Regulator badge on the charity's website, which signals voluntary compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice.
Contact Vita Nova directly for current donation methods. UK charities typically accept online card payments, direct debit, and bank transfer. Many also use platforms such as JustGiving or Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). If you are a UK taxpayer, make sure to tick the Gift Aid box: it lets the charity reclaim 25p from HMRC for every pound you give at no extra cost to you. Higher-rate taxpayers can claim back the difference between basic-rate and their marginal rate through Self Assessment. Payroll Giving (Give As You Earn) lets you donate pre-tax through your employer.
Donations to Vita Nova are eligible for Gift Aid if you are a UK income-tax or capital-gains-tax payer. Gift Aid adds 25% to your donation at no cost to you (the charity reclaims basic-rate tax from HMRC). Higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers can also claim back the difference through Self Assessment or by adjusting their PAYE tax code. Gifts of shares, property, or land to charity are free of Capital Gains Tax and can be deducted from your income for Income Tax purposes. Legacy gifts (in your will) reduce the value of your estate for Inheritance Tax and can lower the IHT rate from 40% to 36% if you leave at least 10% to charity.
Vita Nova is based in Bournemouth. The Charity Commission for England and Wales (CCEW) is the primary regulator.

Mark (keyboards) and Mark Jessop who go to Vita Nova are allowed by management to abuse and manipulate women; raising their voice and getting angry in a rude manner telling other clients to "!F* *K off" and calling female members of the group "T!*67s." They only go here it seems to 'pick up women' or abuse any women who steps foot on the property in 'headworker' or psychologically/mentally abusive way.Phrases that have come from Mark's mouth towards women, during Vita Nova's (supposedly safe and alcohol/drug free) workshops are "Try and rein her in" "F** !K off" and "Your a !t*6t," all towards women, and the brave men wouldn't dare criticise other men.Management seem happy for these abusive men to continue to go to Vita Nova, and I have tried and failed twice to attend sessions. Failed; in the sense that it's better for my wellbeing and safety to protect myself from abusive, manipulating and controlling men. To any vulnerable recovering addict or persons with mental health disorders, I'd advise you to steer well clear from these abuse cretins, ego 1 and ego 2, I used to call them, as I introduced myself to them, and they didn't introduce themselves back, or make me feel at all welcome or invited to the group. It's a sick and twisted game they play of control and power, to my male friend who also attended a session I said "I can't believe they wouldn't listen to you, or me, and take any thoughts and ideas away from us." If you are vulnerable, please stay away from this organisation, you deserve better than to be told to "F**!K off" during a session, ignored, and poked fun at.
