'would your charity benefit from the new CIO status?' - Southampton, 9 September 

details

The long-awaited Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), a new legal form for charities, is expected to be introduced this year. The CIO framework was set out in the Charities Act 2006 in response to requests from charities for a new structure which could provide some of the benefits of having limited liability and being incorporated but without being a company and with less regulation. Uses for existing charities and other organisations may include options for special purpose charities, joint ventures, social enterprises and subsidiary structures.

Blake Lapthorn joined forces with Community Action Hampshire to run a lunchtime seminar on CIOs on 9 September 2011 at its Southampton office.
