Co-operatives UK have launched a guide to legal structures for
community enterprises.

This valuable guide is for development professionals who are involved
in advising and supporting new and existing organisations in the third
sector.

The guide will also prove useful for individuals who are considering
establishing a new organisation or are reviewing the structure of an
existing one.

The comprehensive 67 page guide covers:

    * Incorporation
    * Legal forms
    * Organisational types
    * Ownership and asset locking
    * Charitable status

See the Co-operatives UK website for more information:

There's a lot of advice within about setting up a charity - does that
help?  What problems are you having with the Charity Commission?

Best regards

Bill
