Schedule 2: Forms of application for incorporation as a board

You could also call this:

“How to ask to be officially recognised as a group that looks after money for good causes”

This schedule explains how to apply for incorporation as a board under the Charitable Trusts Act 1957. You need to fill out a form with specific information about your trust or society.

If you’re applying as trustees, you need to provide the name of your trust, the desired name for the board, and the registered office address. You also need to explain who authorised you to make this application and confirm that the society you represent isn’t already incorporated. You must also attach and list any relevant documents.

If you’re applying to incorporate a society as a board, there’s a separate form mentioned, but the details aren’t provided in this schedule. Both types of applications are made under different sections of the Charitable Trusts Act 1957.
