Register of Members of a Company Limited by Guarantee (Charity)

The Economic Crime & Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) has made changes necessitating amendment to the template register of members of a charitable company limited by guarantee. Most significantly, the register of members must now be maintained as an internal local register and cannot be maintained instead or in addition at Companies House. Further, there is a new definition under the ECCTA of a member’s name whereby a forename and surname must be included with no initials or abbreviations allowed. There are now also greater powers for a charitable company to obtain information from members.

This template register of members has therefore now been updated. 

Further information in relation to the register of members can be found in our guidance note here which includes a discussion of where the register must be kept, the inspection regime, the obligations on companies to comply with requests for inspection as well as the changes that have been implemented under the ECCTA.

Given the inspection regime, the statutory register should only include the information required by statute and not any additional information. (Additional information may be included in an alternative internal charitable company register separate from the statutory register.)
