Membership of CHFT
What is it?
- Since 2006 CHFT has been a Foundation Trust – this means we have to take into account what people want from our services and find out what people think of them
- Having members is one way of doing this as it strengthens our links with people who might use our services or have a view on them, making us more locally accountable
- We have public members and staff members (employees of CHFT are automatically signed up as staff members when they start their job with us)
Can I be a member?
- Yes! You just need to be over 16 years old
- It doesn’t matter where you live – you just need to have an interest in CHFT
