I love Locality – it's the best member organisation I've been part of in my career. When you ask for help you get so much more
- Locality member
Locality membership is for anyone who believes in the power of community. Whether you’re just starting out or have been around for years, you’ll fit right in and feel you belong.
Membership covers your whole organisation which means you, your colleagues, and your Board all benefit.
Join our network to:
1. Get connected: Practical networking to help you learn from the experts, swap solutions and bounce ideas around with the right people
Learn, share and build relationships regionally and nationally.
With online chat via our members-only Facebook group, member-hosted Power of Community Meetings and personalised introductions to other members, we’ve got you covered. And there’s our annual national Convention – two days to surround yourself with peers and experts. Take part or observe, either way, you’ll come back refreshed and reinvigorated!
2. Get advice: Support to make sure you make the right decisions
Need an answer, a sounding board or just a listening ear?
With more than 1,300 organisations in our network, there’s bound to be someone who can help. Fellow members or Locality specialist staff are just a click away. No more struggling with a knotty problem on your own!
3. Get smarter: Training, tools and resources to develop your skills
We’re a network full of knowledge and experience!
There’s nothing better than learning from people who’ve been on the same journey as you. They can save you time by letting you know what they’ve found to work (and not work)! Our masterclasses and workshops are delivered online and face-to-face by members of the network, Locality experts, and invited guests.
Our resources and tools will help you plan, manage and thrive. We have a great online health-check tool to help measure resilience and sustainability and, as a last resort, the reassurance of confidential crisis support if things get really tough.
4. Get informed: Find out first about programmes, funding and more to help your community
We’ll save you time and make sure you don’t miss out by bringing together the news you need to know.
With our regular Member-only mail, tailored e-shots to cater to your interests and handy updates that unravel national policy and politics, you’ll find everything you need conveniently in your inbox.
5. Get heard: National campaigns to bring about the changes you want to see
We work on your behalf. Through our influencing work, we press decision-makers to improve the operating environment for community organisations.
As a member, you’ll have opportunities to support our national campaigns or feed-in directly and showcase your work.
We make sure your voice is heard and your viewpoints respected.
