Procedure for joining

You will need to complete an application form and send it online, by post or fax together with copies of your Annual Report, constitution and Articles of Association and latest set of accounts to the Link office (all information you send will remain confidential within Link).

It is highly recommended that you discuss your interest in applying for membership with Link’s Director before submitting your application form.  The Director will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding your application for membership.

All applications are considered by the current membership. If successful, you will become a full member of Link within two months of the date you submit your application form. Link has the absolute right to accept or reject an application (on a vote if necessary). If an application is declined we will seek to be as transparent as possible although no explanation need necessarily be given.

If you would like to discuss joining Link please contact the Secretariat.
