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 [http://wiki.ilovefreegle.org/Rules#Rule_4:_OBJECTS] and is a Freegle group owner, group 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 [http://freegle.it/JoinFreegleLtd] 
*Paying £1:
**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 60 83 01.
**Please email [mailto:secretary@ilovefreegle.org 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.
