We are a community owned development trust. The way this works is by having local residents from the community as members.
Joining HDT shows your support for creating a sustainable community and allows us to do the work that the community requests.
Anyone can join HDT whether they live in Headingley or not. All that you need to become a member is to support the aims of the organisation (constitution). Please fill in the online membership form below, or if you are not able to use the online form you can download a paper version of the application form, or pick up a form from HEART and post it to us with the membership fee.
The membership fee is kept deliberately low in order to make sure that no one is prevented from joining by hardship.
Whilst we generate funds from some of our activities our members also form a very valuable source of income. Therefore, we will be very happy to receive donations from members and prospective members too. There is no limit to the amount that individual members can donate, but this does not entitle them to any more say in the business of the Trust, which is a one-member-one vote organisation.
We chose early on in the life of the Trust to just have a one off membership payment to make sure that all local citizens could easily join us. However, we believe that many members would have signed up to an annual fee, if it had been asked for. We urge you to please consider setting up a standing order to that we can cover the core costs of the Trust and continue to support new projects in their early stages until they become self-sufficient.
