If your charity has been established as a trust, an unincorporated association or as a Charity Commission scheme it will be an unincorporated charity. As trustees of an unincorporated charity if things go wrong, you do not have the benefit of limited liability. Incorporating your charity into a charitable company limited by guarantee or a charitable incorporated organisation provides additional protection for the trustees and other benefits for the charity.
This is especially important for charities who own or lease property due to the complexities of holding title to property and potential liability.
In this joint seminar, Russell-Cooke solicitors Catherine Flexer and Sukanya Ransford and David Sayce Associate Property Adviser at the Ethical Property Foundation explain the incorporation process and why it matters.
- the benefits of incorporation, especially for charities with property
- the differences between a charitable company and a charitable incorporated organisation
- the incorporation process
- transferring property assets
The Ethical Property Foundation hope that you will join them on Wednesday 8 July for expert insights, an opportunity to ask questions, share stories and network with your peers.
