Frequently Asked Questions
How do we amend the articles of our charitable company?
The members pass a special resolution, needing at least a 75% majority, to change the articles. For a charitable company certain changes also need the Charity Commission's prior written consent, and the amended articles and resolution are then filed at Companies House. Use the resolution that matches whether Commission consent is required. Simply-Docs provides both versions.
Which changes to a charitable company's articles need Charity Commission consent?
Regulated alterations need the Commission's prior written consent: altering the charity's objects, altering any provision on how property is applied on dissolution, and any change that would authorise a benefit to directors, members or connected people. Only if and when the Commission's consent has been obtained can the change take legal effect. Simply-Docs provides separate resolutions for changes that do and do not need consent.
