Member network

Everything we do at Action Hampshire is in support of our amazing members.

We strengthen and sustain the VCSE sector and local communities, enabling collaboration and action that creates healthy, fair and inclusive places to live.

Our Member network is central to Action Hampshire’s history and governance. Members provide vital insight into the experiences of VCSE organisations and help shape how we support the sector.

Get more support, stronger connections, and a bigger voice. Behind every strong community is a network of organisations sharing ideas, supporting each other, and speaking up for what matters. That’s what Action Hampshire membership is all about. For 2026-27 and 2027-28 membership is fully subsidised, making it easier to get involved.

Join to connect with other VCSE organisations, access practical training, and share your work more widely - while helping shape the support and conversations that affect our sector locally. Follow this link to become a member and view our membership terms and conditions at this link.

How to become a member

Membership of Action Hampshire is open to any VCSE organisation operating in and around Hampshire (including Southampton, Portsmouth, Isle of Wight, and surrounding counties). 

To join, complete our simple online application form. In the form, you will be asked to agree to our terms and conditions - view our membership terms and conditions at this link

 

Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.
