Membership
Ignis Lodge is built on community; people and organisations choosing to stand alongside us as we empower and deliver better futures.
Ignis Lodge is built as a membership organisation because belonging matters.
Membership is how we recognise contribution, participation, and shared purpose across everyone connected to Ignis Lodge. From people rebuilding their lives, to supporters, partners, and those entrusted with governance. There are several forms of membership at Ignis Lodge, reflecting different relationships with the organisation.
People who are supported by Ignis Lodge are members first and not passive recipients. All beneficiaries are Chapter Members for the duration of their programme, with full voice in the life of the organisation whilst they are actively engaged. On completion of an Ignis Lodge programme, beneficiaries automatically become Fellows for life, recognising their journey, contribution, and ongoing place in the community.
Alongside this, we welcome supporters, partners, and leaders into membership through clearly defined routes.
