WHAT IS A CIO?
A CIO is very much like a limited company, the main difference being that the entity does not have to be registered with Companies House and is only registered with the Charity Commission.
Like a limited company a CIO has members and charity trustees. In most religious institute CIO’s you will often nd that there is only one sole member, the superior or provincial superior, who will then be responsible for appointing or removing trustees.
SO WHO RUNS THE CHARITY?
Whatever the structure, the people responsible for running the charity and making the strategic decisions, are the charity trustees.
