Updates to Articles of Association

Following the Royal Society of Wildlife Trust’s (“RSWT”) updated guidance on their template Articles of Association last Summer, we have taken the opportunity to review our Articles of Association against this updated form. While we have concluded that our Articles remain sound and fit for purpose we have identified a few minor areas that would benefit from modernising, clarifying and updating.

Below is a brief explanation of the more substantive changes, the Revised Articles of Association, plus a version of the Revised Articles of Association highlighting the changes:

Note Charity Commission approval is not required because no ‘regulated alterations’ are being made (i.e. no changes are being made to the Trust’s purposes or objects, how assets are to be distributed or benefits provided to Trustees).
