Constitution for a Club, Society or Community Group
About this document
Most small clubs, societies and community groups are unincorporated associations. Their constitution is the agreement between the members about how the group is run. Banks, funders, venues and councils usually ask to see one before they will open an account, give a grant or let a room. This template is written for groups that are not charities or sports clubs (separate templates cover those).
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
