Membership Campaign
Membership Campaign
As I noted in my Chairman’s Report, the board have been concerned with regard to the support in the village for the Trust. Information distributed to members generally receives little feedback so it is difficult to ascertain what members would be seeking from the Trust in terms of developments.
At one time we had Life and Annual members totalling around 130. The annual fees were not regularly collected and the total sum was not significant. We therefore changed this and made all existing members Life members.
When the General Data Processing Regulations came into force we should have checked with members for them to opt-in to membership but this was overlooked.
As most of the projects we are seeking to progress would require grant funding to some extent we would almost certainly be asked to provide evidence of our support to funding organisations. What this would entail is not clear but the Board would like to confirm how many members we can rely on.
As noted before we have tried to establish this from a leaflet distribution but this has been only partially successful. Our current list, from the survey, consists of 34 members and this is the list we currently propose to use. I am not sure how many members or the level of support funders would be looking for.
We would welcome any comments.
