Charitable Trusts Act 1957

Schemes in respect of certain charitable trusts

34: Trustees may prepare a scheme

You could also call this:

“Trustees can make a plan to change how they manage a charity's money and property”

If you are a trustee managing property or income for a charitable trust, you can create a plan to change how you handle it. This plan is called a scheme. You can make this scheme if you want to use the rules in this part of the law. The scheme can do different things:

  1. It can decide how to use the property or income.
  2. It can give you more powers as a trustee or change the powers you already have.
  3. It can set new rules for how to run the trust or change the current rules.

You need to make sure your scheme follows all the rules in this part of the law.
