Charities, CICs & Not-for-Profit Organisations

Establishing and running a charity or community organisation requires careful planning, the right legal structure, and ongoing regulatory compliance. We support founders, trustees, and community leaders through every stage, from initial setup to ongoing governance and reporting.

Charity Commission Registration

Registering a charity requires more than completing an application form. We help develop charitable objectives, prepare supporting documentation, and guide organisations through the registration process to maximise the likelihood of a successful application.

Charitable Companies

A charitable company offers the benefits of both charitable status and limited liability. We advise on structure, governance requirements, and ongoing compliance obligations to ensure your organisation is built on a strong foundation.

Constitution & Governing Documents

The governing document defines how your organisation operates and is one of the most important documents you will create. We assist with drafting constitutions, articles of association, charitable objects, and governance provisions that reflect your organisation's purpose and future ambitions.

CIC Incorporation

Community Interest Companies provide a flexible structure for organisations delivering social benefit. We assist with incorporation, governance arrangements, and all documentation required to establish your CIC correctly from the outset.

CIC36 Community Interest Statement

The CIC36 is central to demonstrating how your organisation will benefit the community. We help prepare clear and robust community interest statements that satisfy regulatory requirements while effectively communicating your social purpose.

Companies Limited by Guarantee

Many charities, community groups, and membership organisations operate through a company limited by guarantee structure. We advise on formation, governance, and compliance to ensure the structure supports your long-term objectives.
