Flo’s Members

You can become a Member by completing our online application form, which should take about 5 minutes.

About Membership

  • Flo’s membership costs £5 per year. Our aim is to keep it as affordable as possible and encourage everyone to participate. We welcome additional donations from those who can.

    In the first year this £5 includes a £1 share in Flo’s – your contribution to the ownership of Flo’s – plus a £4 subscription fee. Your £1 share does not earn any interest. After a year you will be asked to renew your membership, and the annual subscription will then be £5.

  • If you wish to cancel your membership you can do so at any time by writing to us. If you don’t renew your annual subscription, your membership will lapse automatically 3 months after the renewal date.

    If at any stage you stop being a member, you can ask to withdraw your £1 share, but Flo’s charge a £1 administrative fee for this so the net amount due to you is zero.

  • If you are already an investor-member holding community shares through Ethex you are already a member and don’t need to apply for membership of Flo’s separately. Investor-members are not required to pay an annual subscription; your membership continues for as long as you continue to hold community shares.

  • Flo’s – The Place in the Park is operated by People, Place & Participation Limited (PPP). PPP is a Charitable Community Benefit Society (FCA registration number 7713, HMRC charitable exemption number EW89947), and is governed by a set of rules, which are available here.
