In order to assist promoters of companies that wish to apply for charitable status the Commission has produced a model set of Memorandum and Articles of Association of a charity, together with notes which give advice concerning the content of these documents. The model can be viewed and downloaded from our website at www.kestrian.co.uk.
Which options you choose will depend on how you wish the charity to be structured and to work. The model is not comprehensive, however, and if you want to include any special or complex provisions which are not contained in the model you should consider asking a solicitor to help you. The model provides a number of option details of which are given in the notes to the model Memorandum and Articles of Association. You should refer specifically to:
Directors’ benefits (Article 6(4)) OPTION 1 OPTION 2 OPTION 2 CONTINUED
Minimum number to constitute a quorum (Article 14(2)(a))

Proceedings of directors (Article 38(5))
Proceedings of directors (Article 38(6))
