Join us for this online session where we will explore the essentials of legal structures in the third sector.
About the session
During the session we'll cover why structure matters for governance and funding eligibility. We'll outline the main options available, and highlight minimum standards for fundraising.
We'll focus on the two most common modern structures – Community Interest Companies (CICs) and Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) – with a clear breakdown of their relative benefits and drawbacks. You’ll leave with practical insights and handouts to help you decide which structure best fits your organisation’s goals.
Who is it for?
This session is aimed at those volunteering with or working for VCFSE groups or organisations in leadership positions, or with responsibility for managing or running their groups, and fundraisers.
