However, in some situations when forming a Limited By Guarantee Company, Companies House require a “Non-profit distribution clause” included within the articles.

If this is the case you can download a copy of the memorandum & articles template that includes this clause from the “M & A” section when completing the company formation process. You simply need to complete the sections marked in red and then upload the document as a custom memorandum & articles.
