Supporter Member or Voting Member?

All members receive the monthly newsletter and information shared by the forum.
The difference between a Supporter Member and a Voting Member relates to the charity’s formal governance.
Supporter Member:
* A Supporter Member receives all forum information but does not take part in the charity’s formal governance.
Voting Member:
* A Voting Member is invited to the AGM and can vote on formal charity matters only, such as trustee appointments, changes to governing documents and decisions brought to members at the AGM.
* A Voting Member agrees to support NPCF’s charitable objects, aims and values, and follow the forum’s policies and procedures.
Please note: Voting Members have a small financial liability of up to £5 if the charity cannot meet its debts.
