Becoming a member of Melville Housing is not the same as becoming a tenant of Melville. Anyone over the age of 16 can become a member of the Association whether or not they are a tenant. Joining is easy, you can either:

• Phone to ask for the short application form
• Email us (info@melville.org.uk)
• Pick up the form from our offices in Dalkeith, or
• Download one here

The cost is just £1 for lifetime membership and allows you to seek election to Melville’s Management Committee and vote at general meetings (including elections to the Committee).

Melville’s Management Committee is responsible for making key decisions on how the organisation is run. It is made up of a maximum of 15 unpaid volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds and meets on a monthly basis with an Annual General Meeting held every September.

We are delighted to receive applications from anyone however we are keen to make sure that our members represent all sections of the community. We would therefore particularly welcome disabled applicants or those with indirect experience of disability and members of ethnic minority groups.

Copies of the membership application form, and also a short information leaflet, are available to download below.
