Note colour has been used to distinguish between articles, paragraphs and sub-paragraphs to aid understanding.

The constitution follows the Charity Commission’s standard Association Model Constitution, except where necessary to account for specific circumstances.

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This means the charity is a corporation with a legal personality. As a CIO the charity has certain benefits equivalent to those of a limited company, for example allowing the charity to hold property in its own name.

The charity is also registered with Companies House (number CE026523). However, the Charity Commission looks after all registration and reporting matters for a CIO (so the Companies House registration is nominal).
