A strong membership makes it harder to dismiss our voice.

What are members expected to do?
We need as many members as possible to give us a stronger voice and to truly represent Edenbridge residents. There is no expectation on our members but we encourage you to participate in our discussions either online or at our public events. Your views are important to us.
We may from time to time put out a request for help at events or for delivering leaflets but your level of participation is entirely your choice.
