Free Membership: NCVO & SCVO

England: Free NCVO Membership

Through a partnership with NCVO, all FCFCG community members with an income of less than £10,000 per year are automatically eligible for free NCVO community membership.

NCVO is the largest umbrella body for the voluntary and community sector in England, and helps over 7,000 members (of which 2,800 are small community groups) through the provision of specialised information, advice and support services and by acting as an advocate for members to government and policy makers.

Your membership details will be emailed to you directly by NCVO (unless you choose to opt out of this benefit when applying for FCFCG membership), so please ensure you include a valid email address on your application form.
