If you fulfil the membership criteria below and would like to join C3, please fill in the form and we’ll get back to you.

Protecting your data

Our Articles require that we may need to share our membership Register (name, address, approximate year/date of joining, membership type) from time to time e.g. for registering an interest under the ‘Community Right to Buy’ scheme.

In order to do this we need your consent.

Please be reassured that, apart from any government requirement, our membership details may only be given out under specified conditions, set out in our new Articles:

“(The Register) shall be open for inspection by both the Board and the Members, and, with the express prior written approval of the Director or employee concerned, by members of the public.”

So if you are happy to continue to be a C3 member, and to confirm that we can, from time to time, share your membership details, please complete the form at the bottom of this page
