VONNE’s community of over 1,500 members gives us a collective voice and enables us to represent sector needs and perspectives regionally and nationally. Our Membership+ packages offer organisations a range of enhanced benefits to support their work.

Memberships for North East VCSE organisations

Core membership is free for North East voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. By signing up you become part of our extensive networks and get voting rights at our AGM, helping make our work accountable and representative.

Once you've signed up to Core membership, you can access our Membership+ packages which offer a great range of enhanced benefits. 

Membership+ fees are based on your income. To keep things accessible for the smallest charities, Bronze Membership+ is free for organisations with an income under £50K.

Supporting VONNE’s work through Associate Membership+

If you’re not a North East VCSE organisation, but want to support our work, or access Membership+ benefits, you can join Associate Membership+. 

These packages help private and public sector organisations strengthen their relationship with the North East VCSE sector and stay up to date with sector developments and opportunities.

Associate members include funders looking to extend their reach, consultants looking for resources to support clients, Local Authorities wanting to strengthen ties to the North East VCSE sector and private companies who want to expand their networks.
