Drafting a Constitution, Deciding a Legal Status: Why It Matters for Your Group

Every strong organisation begins with a solid foundation. For community groups, charities, and grassroots initiatives, that foundation is often the constitution — the document that outlines how your organisation is run, how decisions are made, and how responsibilities are shared. Without it, even the most passionate groups can struggle with governance, funding, and accountability.

That’s why we’re inviting you to join our upcoming workshop:

📅 Date: 15 September 2025
🕙 Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
📍 Venue: BMECP
👩‍🏫 Trainer: Tacye Turner, DRI


Why Attend?

This interactive session will help you and your group:

  • Understand the role and purpose of a constitution in guiding your organisation.
  • Identify the key elements that every constitution should include.
  • Explore the different legal structures available for not-for-profit organisations in the UK.
  • Learn about the advantages and limitations of each structure when it comes to funding, liability, governance, and day-to-day operations.
  • Begin drafting or reviewing a constitution that’s fit for your own group’s needs.
  • Decide on the next steps towards formalising your organisation’s legal status.
