FLVC have supplied these examples of Specimen Governing Documents for Voluntary Organisations, Charities and Social Enterprises so that people may have, ready to hand, a choice of options as to which document might suit them best. However, there is no such thing as an example or specimen governing document which is perfect for everybody. Nearly everyone has different needs and, ideally, documents should be individually tailored – within the parameters of the law and taking note of sound professional standards – to suit the needs of each organisation. Moreover, it is not generally advisable when constructing or tailoring a governing document, even a simple one, that it be undertaken without taking professional advice, as there are things which need to be known and understood if an organisation is to have a truly proficient and useful document. Therefore, please contact and consult with FLVC before embarking upon this task. The documents below are in Microsoft Word format. If you require alternative formats get in touch
