Content of the templates

The templates in this category are identical to the bundled templates, except they are restricted in their application to unincorporated charities that are neither companies nor CIOs nor SCIOs, and have been tailored accordingly. This means that a number of steps in the STEPs process have been suppressed and do not apply, making the process a little shorter.

The single charity templates are also restricted in that they apply to the particular jurisdiction indicated (ie England & Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland).

The templates have security routines built into them that may produce unpredictable and unsatisfactory results, if used for more than one charity, outside the terms of the licence.
