RUILS : RUILS - Who are we & what do we do? : How do I become a member of RUILS?

Although you can access our services e.g. the helpline, our newsletter without being a member, becoming a member of RUILS allows you to have your say in the way in which our organisation is run.

Members are given voting rights and in effect we are answerable to you. You can decide who you would like to see running RUILS and through them the direction that you would like to see RUILS take.

Types of Membership

Full Membership	Is available to older people, people with a disability, carers eligible for their own social care support, individuals who use mental health services and parents of disabled children. Full members have voting rights and can stand to be elected to the Board.
