Our Constitution
As part of our ongoing commitment to strong governance and sustainability, we have transitioned from our previous structure to a Company Limited by Guarantee. This required our Constitution to be reviewed and amended to reflect the requirements of a Company Limited by Guarantee while maintaining the values, purpose, and principles that guide our organisation.
Our updated constitution (finalised in July 2026) outlines how the company is governed, the rights and responsibilities of members, the role of directors, and the procedures that support transparent and effective decision-making while helping to ensure that we continue to operate in a way that is accountable, compliant, and aligned with our shared goals.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our organisation.
