New constitution model for small Charities
================================

The Charity Commission has launched a new constitution model aimed at
very small charities, which expect to stay small. It is suitable for
small charities that have an annual income of under £5,000, do not own
buildings or employ staff, or intend to register with the charity
commission.

Small-constituted groups may also use this constitution model, however
charity law would not cover them.
