When people get together to carry out a particular activity, they do not immediately think about the legal nature of the group they are forming. They act together to carry out a task without realising that they may have obligations and responsibilities in law to each other.

The legal nature of a group becomes an issue when it decides to write down some form of rules for the group (usually in response to a request from a grant-making body) or in the course of seeking charitable status.

This guide identifies the different kinds of legal structures that exist and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

I am currently attending a course on Urban Regeneration, and found our site very informative. I was able to access the information I needed to complete my assignments very quickly, without having to spend hours searching the site, which was very easy to navigate.
Thank you!
