Assisted Membership Scheme
Following the 2016 Harmeny AC AGM, the club has introduced a new ‘Assisted Membership’ scheme. Applications are welcome at the beginning of the membership year and funds are allocated accordingly. Applications out with this period will depend on availability.
As the scheme is limited, any applications received after the 14th October will only be considered if places are still available
Assisted membership is available to those in receipt of:
- Job seekers allowance
- Income support
- Universal credit
- Child tax credit with income less than £16,105
The assisted membership must be applied for every year to ensure continuing eligibility.
The club will consider applications for concessionary membership from people with low or modest means who do not meet the above but can satisfactorily demonstrate that they are unable to pay the full membership or training fees.
If you would like to apply for this please email harmenysec@gmail.com and you application will be dealt with discreetly by 2 appointed members of the Board.
In the event that the scheme is over subscribed, the board has discretion to allocate membership.
