Why Become a Member?
Have a Voice in Our Future
Members can attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM), vote on key decisions and help shape the direction of the Trust — including trustee appointments and major constitutional changes.
Strengthen Community Accountability
With a small trustee board and a paid CEO delivering services, a strong membership ensures the Trust stays open, representative and community-led.
