Join Us (membership)

At VAL we actively encourage voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups to take up membership.

Membership of VAL is one way of affirming the work we do on your behalf in supporting, enabling and representing the VCS.

Membership is also about relationship and partnerships and will enable you to engage more fully and confidently with the wider VCS and us. We will also be able to affirm that your organisation and work is known to us - although this is not a validation of either your work or your policies.

From April 2009 we have introduced two levels of membership: Full members and associate members.
