Invitation to become a member of Freegle Ltd
Dear Freegle Volunteer
As you may know, Freegle has established itself as a Registered Society. This was made possible by the generous assistance of Co-operatives UK. It means that we have been able to formally retain our grassroots identity and democracy in decision making.
The way this works legally is that you pay a nominal fee to be a Member of Freegle. Members each receive a share certificate and have a vote that can used in General Meetings and the AGM, as well as for the election of the Directors who oversee the running of Freegle.
Who is eligible to be a Member of Freegle Ltd?
Anyone who:
- Is over 16
- Supports our Objects [1] and is a Freegle group owner, moderator or other volunteer .
- Has paid a one-off payment of £1 for a share in Freegle Ltd. This is the nominal amount to be paid by each Member. (If this is a barrier to you, please let secretary@ilovefreegle.org know as there is help available.)
How do I become a Member?
- Complete the Membership application form at [2]
- Pay £1 fee:
- The easiest and most reliable payment with no excess fees is by bank transfer.
- Bank transfers should be made to Freegle Limited, Unity Trust Bank, Account No. 20339094, Sort Code 08 60 01.
- Please email secretary@ilovefreegle.org if you wish to discuss other payment options.
- Your share certificate will be emailed to you and you will be recorded on the Register of Members.
