Recycled Teenagers Forum Group

Formal Documents 

 

1. Constitution

A constitution is a formal document, adopted by most Forums or groups, which states the aims and objectives of the Group and how it will run. 

Many informal groups can work well without a constitution, but if groups want to be more formal or want to apply for grants and funding, then a constitution is necessary.  Groups who wish to apply for lottery funding or other types of grant funding need to show in their constitution that they are set up for ‘charitable, benevolent or philanthropic purposes’.  This does not mean they need to be registered as a charity.
