Supporter Membership
Resident Membership
Resident membership is available to people intending to live in an affordable home provided by GCLT. Spaces are limited to the number of homes currently available. If space becomes available, anybody with a local connection and in housing need as defined by Swansea Council can apply to join, as long as they agree to abide by our Membership Policy. Applicants will be selected based on their local connection & level of housing need.
As a CIC abiding by co-operative rules, Gŵyr CLT’s decisions are made primarily through a consensus process. If an agreement is not reached, to avoid the stagnation that pure consensus decision-making can cause, each member can express either agreement, consent or an objection to a proposal, in line with sociocracy principles. You can find out about how Sociocracy works at Sociocracy For All.
SUPPORTER MEMBER RECRUITMENT
GCLT is entirely run by our members for the benefit of the communities and natural world of Gower and the surrounding areas, through community ownership of land and assets. Our members are therefore integral to our vision to create and enhance community-owned assets which benefit the entire community.
