Residents and users of the Village Hall are welcome to become Members of the CCA. Our members maintain an active interest in the Village Hall providing guidance and help for ongoing activities.

All registered Members can attend key Annual or Extraordinary meetings, contribute, and vote on the matters on the agenda for those occasions including the overview of the Trustees performance and fulfilment of the CCA CIO Objectives.

Membership of the CCA is not binding on the individual and currently there is no associated cost or charges. To register for Membership simply print off and complete the membership form, we will then process your application, review against the criteria and if accepted confirm your membership within four weeks of the application.

In addition to becoming a member your help with many tasks and undertakings the Capel Community Centre must manage would be invaluable. Whatever your experience we have roles to suit everyone, from administration, practical maintenance to providing a helping hand at our events there are opportunities for you to contribute promoting the wellbeing of the community.

Becoming a Volunteer has no legal commitment on your part but does require an obligation to act in accordance with the CCA’s working practice, health, and safety requirements. You can also find out more about becoming a Volunteer through GOV.UK https://www.gov.uk/volunteering

The Capel Community Association simply would not work without those who become involved, people like you coming forward to take up the challenge of becoming a Trustee. The scope and timeframe of our undertaking means we need to ensure the Trust is governed to the highest standards over many years and thus there is a requirement for a key number of Trustees be to in post to ensure continuity and smooth running of the CCA.

As a trustee you will be able to use your skills and experience and have a direct influence over a cause you care about. It is a rewarding role, and an opportunity to learn leadership and organisational capabilities as well as hands on experience and practice in running our facilities, but there are responsibilities meaning you will need to give up enough time to help our charity succeed.
