Updating Charity Articles of Association

Updating Charity Articles of Association

Didn't find your answer?

Hi,

We have an incorporated charity who needs to update a clause in their Articles of Association with Companies House. Does any one know how to do this? I have asked our compliance department who haven't come across this and taken a look at Companies House for advice but found nothing helpful. Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Two aspects

I assume you are dealing with a charity which is a Company limited by guarantee.

As far as Companies House is concerned changes to the Articles are made in the same manner as those of any other company - Special Resolution at a General meeting, 75% members in favour.

Depending upon the changes to be made, the charity may require the approval of the Charity Commission.  You may find this guide helpful http://forms.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/94091/cc36text.pdf
