Community Group Membership
£20.00
The society is keen to form strong relationships with like-minded community groups. We aim to bring together groups located in the former Pontefract & District (including smaller towns and villages), so that we can share our latest news, hear about your concerns and work together on the challenges and opportunities that you face.
We welcome any opportunity for community groups to work with us. In return, we offer a benefits package which is aimed towards promoting and supporting your group through our combined scale of working in partnership, together for Pontefract.
