Become a Member
Individuals who care about the Low Port Centre make up our membership. The Low Port Centre (LPC) is a tier two SCIO with a geographic community which means local people make up the majority of our membership body and make decisions about what happens i.e appoint trustees and ratify the budget. This happens once a year at our Annual General Meeting. Anyone over 12 years old can become a member.
Types of Memberships
Ordinary Members - Individuals aged 16 or over who are resident in EH49, EH30, EH48, EH51, EH52, FK2 and FK3.
Junior Members - Individuals aged between 12 and 15 who are resident in EH49, EH30, EH48, EH51, EH52, FK2 and FK3. (Not eligible to serve as Charity Trustees)
Associate Members - Individuals aged 16 or over who are NOT residents of EH49, EH30, EH48, EH51, EH52, FK2 and FK3.
If you live outside of the geographical area but support the Low Port Centre you can become an Associate member. Associates may attend and speak at General Meetings but may not participate in such meetings for voting or quorum purposes. Associates will be eligible for appointment as Co-Opted Trustees.
