Space Membership
If you don’t have the time to join our Board of Trustees, but want to play a part in what we do at Space, you can become a member of our charity instead!
Members are at the heart of our work. If you live in Broomhouse (or South West Edinburgh), you can join a growing group of people making a difference in our community. You can be as active as you like—there are no commitment requirements when becoming a member.
We have three types of membership:
Ordinary Membership
If you are 16 years or older and live in the South West Neighbourhood Partnership Area, you can become an ‘Ordinary Member’. This entitles you to vote at our AGM and, if you want to, stand for election onto our Board. Ordinary members also elect people to serve as directors and make decisions about changes to the charity’s articles.
Associate Membership
Associate Membership is open to non-local individuals and organisations that support our objectives. Associate Members are not eligible to stand for election to the Board or vote at general meetings.
Junior Membership
Junior Membership is open to young people aged 12 to 15 who live in the South West Neighbourhood Partnership Area. Junior Members are not eligible to stand for election to the Board nor to vote at general meetings.
If you would like to become a Space Member, please download the application pack and submit it to admin@spacescot.org.
All members also receive a membership card, which allows a 10% discount in our café.
