Constitution
As a registered charity we are required by law to have a governing document that sets out the purpose of the charity, its structure and how it is governed. The North Midlands LGBT Older Peoples Group is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Our constitution follows a charity commission model and is a substantial document. Members should be aware of its content and refer to it when necessary.
Our constitution was originally adopted on 9 December 2019 and was amended to allow postal and electronic voting following resolutions passed by members at the Annual General Meeting on 20 July 2026
