An unincorporated organisation is a collection of individuals with no separate legal identity. If it wants to own property etc, it must rely on individuals to do so on its behalf. This increases the risk of personal liability for those involved in running the organisation.
By forming New Luce Community Trust as an incorporated organisation, it has a legal identity of its own. This means that it can own property, enter into contracts and employ people in its own name.

NLCT will assist in creating a more positive, prosperous and attractive community by 2040.
