APPLICATION TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE STAMFORD FORUM LIMITED
Background to The Stamford Forum
The Stamford Forum is seeking to become a community interest company under the auspices of the 2004 Companies Act. This will mean that the Forum will be able to operate as a commercial enterprise, but, at the same time, will be non profit-making. The value of the Forum's shares will never increase and all profits will be returned to the community via the various activities that the Forum engages in.
Membership of the Forum, which is therefore a not-for-profit organisation, is open to all.
In the next two years, The Stamford Forum seeks up to 500 new members, both individuals and organisations.
How to join The Stamford Forum Limited
In order to join The Stamford Forum, it is necessary to purchase 1000 shares which will cost £1 in total (Each share has a value of £0.001p.)
This will entitle members to participate in the full range of the Forum's activities.
Any further contribution to the initial funding of the Forum would be welcome.
The only other requirement will be a commitment to the values and ideas that drive the Forum and which are set out in the attached manifesto.
