Why become a Volunteer Midlothian Member?

Membership of Volunteer Midlothian is open to all Volunteer Involving Organisations (VIO’s) in Midlothian and Midlothian branches of national charities. Our membership package has been designed to help organisations get the most out of working with volunteers. Members receive advice, information and access to training, as well as opportunities to share knowledge and network with other organisations.

How to become a Member?

The membership fee is £30 a year, and has not changed for the last few years. The membership is renewed yearly, so if you are joining at the end of the financial year the fee is waived to provide you with best value for money.

Organisations that are considering joining, can with no obligation join one meeting of their choice to assess if this form of professional connection is right for them.

Membership Fee: £30 per year.
