Community organisations

Community organisations can apply to become Affiliated Organisations, by sending a letter to our Steering Group, on headed paper, and signed by an official of the organisation. The letter should:

• Nominate a representative to attend Forum meetings and vote on the organisation’s behalf
• Provide evidence that your organisation is formally constituted, including information about the purpose and scope of your organisation’s activities. For example, you might provide an extract from your Articles of Association or adopted constitution

You can email your letter to [Encoded]. Please note that in line with our constitution, applications to become an Affiliated Organisation will be reviewed and either accepted or declined by the Steering Group at its discretion. Members of the Steering Group are elected by forum members.
