MEMBERSHIP information
In line with our goal of being a participant led organization, we offer annual memberships at a low cost. FOM Music Society memberships are valid for one year and allow you to vote at the Annual General Meeting or run for a position on the Board of Directors. Memberships are renewed one year from the date that you signed up, and we will send out reminders when they are up for renewal.
INCLUSION CRITERIA:
We are an inclusive organization and welcome all musicians, supporters and volunteers to join this awesome musical community! We do not distinguish between those using our programs as part of their mental health recovery plan and those joining us as volunteers and supporters. Our programs are accessed through self-referral (no medical note required). You do not need to disclose your diagnosis to anyone, we respect everyone’s right to privacy. It is up to you, what you choose to share with others.
To participate in our programs, all you need to do is fill out our membership form, and review and sign our membership guidelines, and you’re in! We encourage all participants to pay the membership fee to become a full voting member of our Society. However, paid membership is not a condition of participation. If you are facing financial barriers, our programs can be accessed at no cost. Just choose the ‘opt-out of paid membership – non-member participant’ option on our membership form below.
If you have any further questions, please contacts us.
