Membership

Empowering Communities. Changing Lives.

Our vision is to deliver programmes and projects that make a difference to people’s lives by encouraging, supporting, and promoting community action across North Ayrshire.

Our membership programme welcomes voluntary organisations, social enterprises, and community groups operating across North Ayrshire. Joining as a member not only gives us the opportunity to support your work but also strengthens TACT’s voice as a champion for the sector. While many of our services and training programmes are offered free of charge, members can enjoy discounts on additional services, access exclusive benefits, and become an active part of our supportive community.

As a TACT member, you join a vibrant network of organisations committed to being effective, connected, and making a greater impact for the people and communities of North Ayrshire. It’s about working collectively to achieve more for the people and communities of North Ayrshire and being part of something bigger than any one organisation alone.

  • It is not run for private gain and reinvests any surpluses in its purposes,
  • It is not part of, or controlled by, the public sector, a political party or a trade union.

As a member, you will also be asked to confirm that you agree with our values as detailed below.
