Membership brings opportunities to be part of a vibrant organisation that is constantly seeking to respond to the needs of communities in practical ways and helps them have a voice on issues that affect their lives. Our tiered offer is in response to what our members have told us would be useful to them and reflects the increasing need for those governing, managing and volunteering for services in their communities to keep up to date with things that are important to them.

Our Level 1 membership is £30 per year and has the following benefits;

  • Voting rights to help influence the strategy of Community Futures and make sure that our trustees reflect the views and beliefs of our members.

  • Have a say in how we represent the views and experience of communities and individuals in Lancashire.
  • Regular news updates on topics that are important to communities.
