Organisational Structure

The new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) structure is available for adoption and being promoted by the Charity Commission. Freegle is currently an IPS which is charitable in the eyes of HMRC but not the Charity Commission. It may be something to consider in the future, so we will keep this on the radar.


Task 77 - Optimum Mods

New discussion initiated by Mentors on whether there should be restrictions on how many groups one person or team should own. Poll currently being run to add clarification to Caretaker Groups guidelines.
