Benefits of membership....
Playgroup Network's central belief is in the strength of the 'grass roots' of the organisation. This means that the benefits are passed down to member groups themselves.
This is demonstrated by the following:-
- Local associations are independently constituted and free to set up their
own membership subscription, to fund raise, apply for grant aid, sponsorship
and Lottery funding and to govern their own activities and raise the profile
of community provision for young children.
- Consulted by local and National Government on Early Years Plans.
- Free and low-cost publications. New suggestions from members always welcome.
- Training and support.
- A termly national newsletter.
- Advice and support on any issues affecting groups.
- Information and support on issues of national importance.
- Playgroups and toddler groups are members of their local association. Each
association has a voting right at the National Annual General Meeting.
- National conference with speakers relevant to early years.
Playgroup Network is its members - as groups and individuals they are responsible for the organisation and continue the ethos of mutual help and support.
