3 Should there be provision for ‘supporters’ or ‘informal members’ who are not members of the charity for the purposes of company law?
This is a commonly used means to make clear that a charity may decide for engaging people who do not wish to become company members of the charity, and have no interest in participating in its governance, but may be willing to support the charity by making a small donation or in other ways. For that reason, we propose to leave this provision in place.
However, it is clear from the survey responses that the reasons for this proposal need to be explained more clearly to members. Some appear to believe the proposal was designed to ‘water down’ the role of existing members while others simply did not understand the reason for the proposal.
