Become a Member
Development Trusts are most successful when they have the support of their local communities. The more ‘members’ our Trust has from the Dollar community, the more credibility we have to take forward projects, secure funding and influence decisions made about where we live.
Being a member does not carry any obligations but does have benefits. As a member, you are entitled to cast a vote at our AGM, elect Trustees and submit resolutions. We will also keep you up to date on what the Trust is doing and how you can get involved in and contribute to decision making. In addition, tickets for certain community events go on sale to members early. That said, our work aims to benefit Dollar as a whole community, not only our members.
Membership is now free and is automatically renewed annually unless you choose to opt out.
There are 2 ways you can become a member:
- Offline: Pick up a Membership form at the Hive and return the completed form to the Hive. Please address it to the DCDT Membership Secretary.
- Online: Complete and submit the Online Membership Form below.

Become a Friend of the Trust
Our existence and growth depend on a stable income and volunteer base. We also know that some people want to support the Trust but don’t have spare time to volunteer.
To this end, we have established a ‘Friends of the Trust’ scheme. Our ‘Friends’ are individuals who have committed to making a regular donation to the Trust to support our work. Most importantly, our Friends Scheme will ensure that the Trust is truly supported by the community we serve.
Every donation counts, so please support us by becoming a Friend of the Trust by clicking here.
You can be a member AND a friend of the Trust.
