Charitable Incorporated Organisation Training Event

This event has been arranged jointly by the WEBA and the Baptist Union Legal and Operations team.

This is an opportunity to find out more about the new legal structure for charities known as the ‘Charitable Incorporated Organisation’ or CIO for short. It will be of interest to charity trustees who are considering the options for the legal structure of their church and also to those considering the CIO as an option for a community project such as a pre-school or coffee shop.

The day will include input from BUGB Legal Services Manager Caroline Sanderson and Jenny Smith from Anthony Collins LLP. Topics that will be covered include:

• Baptist church governance and charity registration
• Why change your legal structure?
• The difference between a charitable company and a CIO
• The process of incorporation as a CIO.

There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions!

This event is open to any interested Baptist church, whether or not they are in membership with WEBA. The places are initially limited to two per church, but we will create a Waiting List for additional places to be made available later if there are unfilled spaces.

Book your place here.  (choose the WEBA event)
