Trust Democracy is a volunteer-led incorporated society made up of members with a strong interest in our core question: “What does it take to make democracy work as it should?”

Trust Democracy organises events, workshops, conducts research and projects, engages in public policy and decision making processes, etc.

Becoming a member

We do not charge a membership fee and ask instead for koha or a donation. We ask you to decide how much you can afford and how much you would like to give.

Click here to see Trust Democracy’s Constitution. Please pay particular attention to Part 2 (Purposes) and Part 3 (Membership), including Rule 18, which relates to the privacy of members’ personal information.

Please fill out and submit our online application. Your application will be considered at the next monthly meeting of the Committee and you will be advised of the outcome.


Helping with a donation

While volunteers can do a lot by donating their time, energy and skills, financial donations are also very welcome. To donate, please go to our Givealittle page or make a direct transfer to our account. Please contact us to let use know you have made a donation.
