Charity Membership
Our Charity Membership has been specifically designed to support charities to reach their strategic goals and raise their profile across the region.
I cannot recommend them enough
“If there are any small charities out there who are wondering whether to join the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce all I can say is just join. The staff are so helpful, they reply to queries quickly, they help to publicise events, they even join in. I have found their networking events very useful and have been introduced to several new companies as a result. I cannot recommend them enough.”
– Penny Weir, ECHO Herefordshire
This Membership will support your charity in its quest for increased exposure, professional employee development and give you access to a network of over 1300 businesses.
Charity Membership starts from £18.21 + VAT per month or £218.50 + VAT annual payment.
Is Membership right for my charity?
From our many years of experience, we have developed support for almost every type and size of charity there is and through this experience we have developed a range of support services we know will make a difference to you.
