Haemophilia Scotland was originally established as an independent Scottish Charity in 2012 and began life as a Voluntary Association.
However, at the 2014 Annual General Meeting we decided to become a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).
At the 2015 Annual General Meeting we completed the transition to by formally adopting a new constitution. As of the 14th May 2015 Haemophilia Scotland was officially registered as a SCIO.
The constitution was next amended at an Extraordinary General Meeting in July 2016 to make specific reference to our international work in our charitable purposes.
A further amendment was made in May 2018 to enable electronic voting and to protect trustees from inappropriate removal. The most recent amendments were a result of recent changes in legislation for charities in Scotland and were approved at the August 2025 AGM .
Our constitution is our governing document. It lets our members, the public, and the regulators know how we are organised and what we exist to achieve.
