Lancashire CRN was established in 2003 and as a members’ organisation, fees were charged for individuals and organisations to join the Network. For two years from 2008, fees were waived to increase the Network’s membership base and allow all members to experience the benefits of membership at no cost.
Nominal membership fees have been reintroduced, according to the number of paid staff per organisation; however membership will remain free of charge if an organisation is staffed entirely by volunteers.
In acknowledgement of the financial difficulties of many in the community sector, a 50% discount is being offered on all fees for the 2010-11 membership term.
