The Charitable Incorporated Organisation
The CIO is a new legal form for charities, and the first incorporated legal form designed specifically with the needs of charities in mind. It will be available only to charities and will add to the existing range of forms that charities can use. The Office of the Third Sector (OTS) and the Charity Commission are seeking responses to a consultation on the detailed legal framework for CIOs from those who will use the CIO model and those who will work with CIOs. The consultation will be open until 10 December 2008. Find out more.

The Big Lottery Fund says that the new system "will mean that each distributor can better address the needs of their applicants and the themes they support". It added that "it is anticipated that new money available for small grants in 2009-10 will be comparable to money that was available to community groups through Awards for All in 2008-2009". The new separate small grants programmes are as follows:
