What if you fall outside of these criteria?

In some cases, organisations may not completely fit our criteria for a FULL Membership. As such, we have created a new type of membership known as an ASSOCIATE MEMBERSHIP (organisations limited by Shares would be a Business Partner). This means you get all the member benefits below EXCEPT FOR:

​

• You will NOT receive a dedicated Membership Development Officer to support your organisation

• You will NOT receive support from our Fundraising team around bids and applications you would like to make

• You will NOT be able to apply for our Young Barnet Foundation specific funding pot; Space2Grow

​

Once you have applied to become a full member, our Membership Team will assess your application and speak with you around which membership your organisation or group best fits and how we can still work together.
