Further information:
The deadline for membership is the close of the previous financial year (31 March). However, because we understand funding may be available at different times during the financial year, your service can pay membership fees in advance which will then be used for the following year’s membership. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Members can pay more than one year’s membership when they join or renew. Please notify us of your wish to do so when you join or when speaking to us about your membership and we will invoice you accordingly.
If you'd like to arrange a free 20-30 minute conversation with one of our friendly CORC Regional Improvement Officers to discuss your organisation’s needs and how we can help, please just get in touch: corc@annafreud.org. No obligations, just an exploratory and informative opportunity to discuss.
I see our membership with CORC as a way to drive our service improvements and provide a better and more effective service for our young people and their families going forward.
