Member Organisations
Become a Member
Member Organisations are vitally important to the work of Westway Trust.
Not only do they have a formal role in electing three of our 12 trustees and voting on important matters at our annual general meeting, but also our Member Organisations are one of the first places we turn to provide input to our strategic plans. The relationship we have with our Member Organisations also informs much of our other work and Member Organisations are often involved in delivering projects that we support.
Our Member Organisations also have the opportunity to:
- Attend group meetings about our strategic direction and major projects every six months
- Give early input in to upcoming proposals; help us to co-design developments; and co-produce projects
- Take part in consultation sessions where we bring local people together to develop plans focused on particular problems such as the environment or local social issues
- Work in partnership with us to deliver projects, seek funding, and host activities on the estate
It’s free to become a member, and we welcome all applications. Membership comes with a number of opportunities and responsibilities. Please review your responsibilities before applying to become a member.
