Tiered Partner Membership

Town thru Partner Benefits:

The tiered partner membership is strongly recommended because of the benefits it will bring to your organisation in terms of time and expenses.  For example, as an individual organisation partner member you will need to disseminate the information received from Action for Market Towns to all of your towns within your county or district.  But for as little as £50 extra per year, depending on the number of towns in your district, AMT will have direct contact with them and do the disseminating for you!  The towns will directly receive the benefits listed below: 

• 30% Discount for National Convention
• Substantial Discount for Towns Alive Events
• Town Action Planning Framework step-by-step guide to setting up and completing a Community Led Plan for a small town – free download of full handbook and worksheets
• 30% Discount Market Towns Academy courses and e-learning 
• Learning from research - access to website, providing information on good practice case studies and reports and other reference resources
