About this event
The constitution (or rules) of a not-for-profit organisation sets out the roadmap for how it will operate. Adhering to this governing document isn’t merely good practice - it’s a legal requirement for both the organisation and its members. Still, getting familiar with a constitution can feel overwhelming at first.
In this webinar, we’ll guide you through the essential components of a not-for-profit's constitution. Through examples and case studies, we’ll equip you with the understanding and confidence needed to navigate and apply your constitution effectively. We’ll also explore why this governing document is vital to your organisation’s success and how using it properly can foster trust among members - ensuring your not-for-profit remains not just compliant, but efficient and well-managed.
We'll cover:
- What is the legal status of the constitution?
- What are the key topics addressed in a not-for-profit's constitution?
- Practical tips for understanding and changing your constitution
You'll receive:
- 75 minutes of plain-language training from a lawyer
- Copy of webinar recording (accessible for 3 months) and slide handout
- Information on further resources and support

Anyone involved in a not-for-profit organisation who wants to learn more about their constitution or who is thinking about creating or changing a constitution.
