Following feedback from a number of our users, we've made updates to the group types that can be selected on our platform.

These changes have been made to improve the clarity and consistency of our group types, and to ensure our platform reflects current terminology across all regions.

 Our new group types are as follows:

• Business (previously: Corporate/Business)
• Charity/Not-for-profit (previously: Not for profit)
• Club/Community group (previously: Community group)
• Education provider (previously: Education)
• Government/Public sector (previously: Council)
• Volunteer services & centre (new group type)

If you already own or administrate a group on Be Collective, you do not need to do anything – our new group types have been applied automatically to all existing groups, replacing the old group types as shown above. For example, if your group was previously used the 'Not for profit' group type, it is now a Charity/Not-for-profit.

Group types can be selected when you first create a group on Be Collective, or through our group editor. To learn more, please see the Help Centre articles linked below:
