Charity Commission publishes constitution for small charities

The Charity Commission has published a simplified model constitution for charities below the registration threshold.
The 700-word constitution is aimed at charities that don't own any property or employ any staff and expect their annual income to remain below the £5,000 threshold for registering with the Commission.
The constitution (GD4) explains issues such as membership criteria, trustees' powers and regulations governing trustee and members' meetings.
