Ward Freman Community Pool Group CIO
A foundation model charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) has been chosen by the action group as the best type of charity initially to start to get the pool operational again.
The public of Buntingford and surrounding villages were invited to complete a community questionnaire, which included offers to be trustees of the group. 47 people volunteered to be a trustee. Information was sent to all those interested on what it means to be a trustee, along with other conditions which have to be fulfilled. Eight people were then chosen to be Founding Trustees.
The constitution was created and submitted to the Charity Commission on 15th March 2024. Following requested amendments by the Charity Commission the Ward Freman Community Pool Group CIO was entered onto the Register of Charities with the Registered Charity Number 1207746 on 5th April 2024.
