Firs Community Benefit Society membership application

Our Ambition 

We have already begun work on our first community project, to create a new build community and sports centre at the junction of Manor Avenue and Firs Way.

Firs Community benefit Society is not looking to manage this building but be the owner of the asset and work with a local operator to run the building for the organisation in line with our values.

The building will relocate services from the existing council owned Sale West Community centre and provide space for community events and activities, new enterprises, grassroots sports and a café.

Becoming a member

Any individual over the age of 16 and a resident in the UK, or any company whose registered office is in the UK, can apply to become a member of Firs Community Benefit Society.

By become a member you will have a direct say in how we work, and we will welcome hands on involvement from you. 

Members will be able to access discounted activities and products within the new community centre.

Firs Community Benefit Society is a democratic company. Directors are recruited from the membership on a one-member one-vote basis at the Annual General Meeting.

Members can buy shares in Firs Community Benefit Society for as little as £10. A member can increase their shareholding at any time. The maximum investment is £100,000 per member.
