361: Name of community trust

You could also call this:

"A community trust's name must include the words "Community Trust" to identify itself."

A community trust must have a name that includes the words "Community Trust". You can think of a community trust as a group that works for its community. The name of the community trust is important and must follow this rule.

A community trust can change its name if it wants to, but it must still include the words "Community Trust" and follow its trust deed. The trust deed is like a set of rules that the community trust must follow. You can find more information about this by looking at the related legislation.
