Charitable Trusts Act 1957

Incorporation of trust boards

8: Applications for incorporation may no longer be made by societies

You could also call this:

“Societies can't become boards anymore, but existing boards can become societies”

You can no longer apply to make a society become a board under this part of the law. This change started on a specific date, which is when a certain part of another law came into effect.

If you applied to make your society a board before this date, your application will be looked at as if the new law hadn’t been made.

If your society is already a board under this part of the law, you can choose to register it again as a society under the new Incorporated Societies Act 2022. You can find more information about this in section 30A of this law.
