The current set of objects (a) to (e) has the following (final) object:
e) to campaign if necessary against impediments and restrictions to the
above goals, wheresoever enacted, in the United Kingdom or overseas.
But the Charities Commission guidelines at
http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/publications/cc9.asp
state:
3. However, where the campaign or other activity is of a political
nature (ie seeking to advocate or oppose a change in the law or
public policy), charity trustees must ensure that these activities do
not become the dominant means by which they carry out the purposes of
the charity. These activities must remain incidental or ancillary to
the charity's purposes.
Does the fact that one of our five objects (and a reference to the
other four) give us explicit campaigning purpose and as hence as at
odds with the above clause? See also the rest of "CC9"
CC9 - Campaigning and Political Activities by Charities
(Version - September 2004)
Also, from my scant knowledge of legal wording, words such as "as
above" should be replaced with "(a), (b), (c), and (d)".
