I chair a charity registered in England although our remit is UK-wide. I am moving to Scotland this year (permanently) and am unclear on the implications this may have on the organisation. As far as the Charities Commission is concerned does the Charity chairman have to have an English address? Do I need to register a new organisation in Scotland, or dual register the organisation? As a very rare disease charity we only have a handful of patients in Scotland,  so setting up an entirely new organisation just for them seems to me to be overkill. 
I am hoping someone will have been through a similar experience before and be able to offer some advice.
