Membership

[ ]

Membership of the Trust is open to all residents of Stratford-upon-Avon (within the town's defined boundaries) and whose names appear on the electoral roll.

Being a member gives you the chance to help choose who runs the Trust and to let the trustees know where you think the money should best be spent.

In particular members are entitled to:

Nominate and elect five trustees (usually every four years)

Be kept informed of Trust activities and grants

Attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting

As a member you will receive:

A membership number

A Newsletter twice a year which gives information about recent grants, events and policy decisions

The Annual Review giving an overview of the Trust’s activities over the last financial year together with some statutory financial information

Invitations to attend other events which may be organised by the Trust to keep members updated about the Trust’s work.

In return as a member only two things are asked of you: to take an interest in the affairs of the Trust, by attending the AGM for example; and, in the unlikely event that the Trust had to be wound up, you may be called upon to pay £1.00.

You might also consider becoming a trustee yourself. Elections are usually held every four years and local knowledge and expertise are essential if the Trust is to be really effective. Before the election all members will be sent a nomination form which you should complete if you wish to stand for election yourself or to nominate another member. Please note that only members may serve as trustees.
