documents

We have developed two new template governing documents for music groups. They are both for non-charitable unincorporated associations:

• Non-charitable unincorporated association - with a wider membership
• Non-charitable unincorporated association - without a wider membership

Each document is available below as a PDF with notes and guidance on how to use it, and as a Word doc without notes to make it easy for you to use and insert your group’s details.

Before you use the document we suggest you read:

But as groups grow and become more stable it is a good idea to start thinking about a formal structure for your group.
