The Louis Ross Foundation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). Our Constitution is based on the Charity Commission’s recommended model governing documents (in this case, for a CIO whose only members are the trustees i.e. The Foundation Model Constitution).

Our charity’s governing document is a legal document and works as a rulebook, setting out:

• Our charitable purposes (‘objects’)
• What we can do to carry out our purposes (‘powers’)
• Who runs us (‘trustees’) and who can be a member
• How our trustee meetings will be held and how trustees are appointed
• Rules about paying trustees, investments and holding land
• Whether the trustees can change the governing document, including its charitable objects (‘amendment provisions’)
• How to close the charity (‘dissolution provisions’)

Our objectives are listed on the Who We Help page of this website, with our Trustees listed here.
