At the CIC's June AGM our members unanimously voted for The Patch to become a charity, and to adopt the proposed constitution of a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Click here to read the proposed constitution in full.
If our application is accepted, the Charity Commission will become our regulators (no longer Companies House). The move will broaden the scope of our fundraising efforts as well as highlight the charitable nature of The Patch's objectives.
It is hoped to complete the conversion process by early September. Watch this page for further updates.
