Many organisations initially opt for the Community Interest Company (CIC) structure due to its quicker and potentially lower-cost process compared to charity registration. However, it is important to understand the range of options available. The Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), a bespoke legal structure for charities, has been in existence for over a decade. This session will address the following topics:

·        Overview of different legal structures (including CICs, CIOs, and charitable companies limited by guarantee) – their pros, cons and key differences

·        Introduction to a CIO

·        Key components of a CIO constitution (including membership structures and trustee responsibilities)

·        Benefits of adopting a CIO structure over other structures

·        Steps to establish a CIO. 

Attending the event is free to Islington residents, and charities. Places are strictly limited, so please book using the link below.
