Your duty as a member:

We welcome applications for membership of GCDT. As a member, you are required to support the objectives and activities of the Trust. The objectives or purposes of the Trust are set out above.

We also want to make you aware of current projects and activities on which the Trust is working. These can be identified in the Community Action Plan Live Projects Map. We have been working on the Community Action Plan for some time and have completed a detailed consultation with our local Community to ensure projects in the Plan are well supported. We wish to ensure that company members are aware of, and support the projects which are live and have been formed by our Board of Trustees and in consultation with the defined Community which we are legally constituted to serve.

We plan to formally launch the Community Action Plan shortly. If you would prefer to wait until we have formally launched the Plan before committing to membership, that is, of course, fine. We welcome applications for membership at any time.
