They’re a federation of charities. Charities can’t just change their by-laws when they want to.

Well not overnight obviously, I'm sure it has to go through a board of directors and have a vote for it. My comment may have come off a bit more flippant then intended tbh. But I'm not aware of any legal reason they can't go that route though, but I'm not in the UK so ¯\(ツ)/¯

I did find this, which I think is relevant. https://the-icm.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/CC363.pdf
