Community Land Scotland

Become a Member

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.

There is annual fee of £50.00 for current community landowners. There is no membership fee charged for Aspiring Members or for Full Members who have not yet acquired land or buildings. 

Membership Levels

There are two Membership levels that community groups can apply for. 

Full Members are formally constituted community organisations that meet the following criteria.

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

How to join

If your organisation would like to become a member of Community Land Scotland, please fill out our online Membership application. Alternatively, you can download and return a hard copy of the form.

Once we receive your application, we will check to make sure that your organisation meets our eligibility criteria. In some cases, we may request to see your governance so that we can do our checks. Once we have confirmed you are eligible to join, your application will be circulated to our Board for approval. This process usually takes about a week. Once you are confirmed, we will welcome you to the Membership!
