About Community Membership

Being a Community Member is a show of support for the work the ACT does and gives you the chance to influence how the Trust works. We have recently introduced a quarterly Community Members E-Newsletter. With your permission, we will use the contact details you have provided to provide you with the latest updates and “early bird” access to details about any special events and activities that ACT are delivering.

Some Groups may also be able to benefit from our extra package of support called “Community HQ”. Please see below for further details.

The Community Membership fee lasts for for one year and is valid until the end of the next AGM (24th November 2026)

Whether you’re an individual passionate about our local area or a group working to make a difference, your support is vital. We offer two distinct community membership options designed to fit your needs. Find out which one is right for you.
