Members
Join us and help to deliver our mission
Who Can be a Member?
TDC membership is open to any people and community groups we work with. By being a member, you will help guide our organisation and make sure we are listening to people we work with in the community.
Our AGM
TDC Members attend our Annual General Meeting each year (AGM). At our AGM, we report back on our previous year’s work and finances and celebrate the achievements of the communities we work with.
Commitments of Members
By joining you agree to support TDC’s Charitable Objects, and our Mission, Vision & Values.
TDC’s vision is for Brighton and Hove to become a healthy, inclusive and thriving city, free from inequality.
Our mission is to deliver community led solutions to tackle inequality.
Our values
Community “Together we are stronger.”
Community is at the heart of TDC. When we connect people, organisations and communities together, this builds strengths, improves well-being and reduces inequality.
Empowerment “Building community brings social justice.”
The most effective way to tackle inequality is to support people experiencing poverty and exclusion to develop skills, knowledge and strengths, to come together and take action.
Inclusion “There is no ‘them and us’ only us.”
We are enriched by the diversity within our communities. We recognise that discrimination exists, and we fight against it. When we proactively support people to participate, including the most excluded and vulnerable – everyone gains.
Equality “None of us can truly thrive whilst some of us are in poverty.”
Everyone is valuable, everyone is needed. Tackling economic, social and health inequalities enables everyone to play their full part – which benefits us all.
Members can still be employed as staff or become a trustee. Members have ‘limited liability’ which means you that you will not be responsible for any debts the organisation might incur.
