To provide one extra relevant reference class: I have let EAs stay for free / donations at my place in London to work on EA projects and on the whole was very happy I did so. I think this is worthwhile and there is a need for it (with some caution as to both risky / harmful projects and well intentioned free-riders).
Good luck registering as a CIO—not easy. Get in touch with me if you are having trouble with the Charity Commission.
Note: you might need Trustee’s that are not going to live for free at the hotel (there’s lots of rules against Trustees receiving any direct benefits from their charity).
Also if you think it could be useful for there to be a single room in London for Hotel guests to use for say business or conference attendance then get in touch.
Thanks :) Yes I have two independent Trustees now, we’re in the process of registering the CIO. Good of you to offer of the London room, will let you know if anyone needs to go to London for (EA) business!
Greg this is awesome—go you!!! :-D :-D
