Charity Membership

For the grand sum of £5 a year anyone can become a member of The Skills Development Centre.   In the past membership has mainly been around the people who set up the charity and the carers of Clients who attend the Centre and some Clients themselves.  As with any membership, the numbers have dwindled over the years and we desperately need new members. 
 
As a member you will be invited to the AGM, usually held in September, if you have any ideas that you feel could help the Centre, this would be the opportunity to put them forward.  The Charity Commission, who oversee all charities, give members a say in who runs the service and how it is run.  At the AGM members elect the officers of our Executive Committee, who at the end of the day decide what kind of service we provide for the Clients. For the main part we just want to widen our membership.
 
We are also looking to increase our circle of volunteers and if any of you think you can spare the time, we can certainly find you something to do.

If you would like to become a Member of the Charity Please call Betty Morris on 0208 866 3711 and a Membership form will be sent out to you.
