Our members are leading a growing
movement for change in Scotland
Full or Aspiring membership with Community Land Scotland is open to geographic community groups who either already own or who aspire to own land for the benefit of the community.
Membership Categories
There are two membership categories that community groups can apply for:
Full members must have an open membership to people living in the geographic area and can own or be working towards owning land. There must be protections in your governing documents to ensure local control of your Board or Committee. Organisations must be formally constituted e.g. Company Limited by Guarantee, SCIO etc.
Aspiring members are non-constituted organisations that are working towards Full Membership criteria. This membership will apply for 1 year and will be reviewed upon expiry of that period. Aspiring Members shall not be entitled to vote.
If you are unsure which category you are in, please email: info@communitylandscotland.org.uk
