Jessica, can i just check do you currently have a limited company set up?
The Board meeting is basically a meeting of the company directors to make a major decision regarding the company, this needs to be minited and kept in the company minuite book.It does not need to be very long or detailed. Companies house are not interested in the minutes but the company must hold a copy.
something like
Board meeting of XYZ Ltd
Held at xxxxxxxx on xxxxxxxxx
Present xxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxx,xxxxxxxxxxx
A meeting was held on the above mentioned date to change the M&A of the company.
This was aggreed by all named Directors present
Signed ..........Director(s) signatures
What you need to do is find or get advice on how your M&A needs to be amended to cover what you are trying to do. How this needs to be worded is impossible to say without knowing what yours currently says and exactly what you want to change.
I suggest you really need advice from a Company Law Solicitor or maybe an accountant, some i know will deal with these matters some wont. The other place you maybe able to get advice is somewhere like the Federation of Small Businesses but im not sure how much they advise non-members
Yes I have a limited company already set up : at the moment (must start the fund raising in the next days) for i will run it under a non-profit organization status only instead of a non-profit organization and social enterprise.0 -

I would suggest that what you submit to Companies House is the amended M&A. The draft minutes do not address that.
You really are struggling with this entire matter (hence your various threads) and would, I think, be well advised to get proper paid-for help. Alternatively, find a charity which would be willing to accept payments from your company for a specific project.
If you want to PM me with details of the class of people you want to support, I can consider whether a charity with which I have an involvement would be able to help.
PM you for what? Do you think your 'joke' make me laugh just a second?
Right now I have just something in response to your last message but I won't say it since it will be against MSE policy.0 -

If that is how you respond to someone offering help, good luck to you and those you say you want to help. Bye.0 -

That was my point. That's why there are professionals out there. As I said, get it wrong and you can lose your house. This is something that crosses both the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities and not-for-profit organisations body rules. I was Chairman of a CSAC organisation that then morphed into a Charity after six years. I then took on several clients who were either CSAC or Charities. I can tell you, the directors have a financial, legal and ethical responsibility.
You have to be so careful, you should get the advice of a professional advisor's, your accountant, or a local accountants who know about these types of firms.
When you shop around, just ask that question.0
