FAQ's
-
Who can join the Locality Membership Network?
Our Essentials and Membership Plus membership packages are for locally-focused, independent community organisations.
The Network package is for community organisations, groups and individuals who want to stay in touch and support our campaigns but can’t sign up to the full benefits of paid membership.
Partner and Partner Plus packages are for organisations who work with community organisations like councils, housing associations, sector support organisations, funders, universities, health trusts, national charities and corporate businesses
-
Is my organisation a ‘community organisation’?
A community organisation is an organisation that directly delivers services which have broad community impact. It is:
- locally focussed
- accountable to the local community
- independent.
If your organisation:
- operates over a wider geographical area, such as regionally or nationally;
- is a non-independent branch of a parent organisation; or
- exists primarily to support other community organisations;
then please look at our Partner or Partner Plus packages.
