Uploading a copy of your Group’s Constitution or Governing Document

If you’re registering as a Community Group, after you set up your email and password and add your Group details, you will be asked to upload a copy of your Group’s Constitution or formal Governing Document.

To do this, you will need a copy of your Constitution saved to your computer or phone.

If you only have a paper copy, you can do this by:
  • Using a scanner to scan the paper document, and then saving the scanned file to your computer or phone.
  • Taking a photograph of your Constitution, for example with your phone camera. Please make sure that any text on the document is visible and readable in the photograph.

Once you have registered and entered your Group details, you will see the following question: Please upload a copy of your Group’s Constitution or Formal Governing Document (Max size 2Mb).
