Documents

This document is right for your organisation if:

• Your organisation is a company limited by guarantee formed in England and Wales and registered with Companies House; and
• You are planning an annual general meeting, or other general meeting, of your company’s members.

This document is not right for your organisation if:

• Your organisation is not a company limited by guarantee;
• You are planning a meeting of your company’s directors or trustees, rather than the members; or
• The meeting has been formally requisitioned by the members of the company, rather than called by the directors or trustees.
