Membership

Join the Trust to demonstrate support for your local health provider.

Becoming a member is a way for you to have a role in improving Homerton’s services. Trusts are accountable to their local communities, and by being a member you are empowered to hold the Trust to account. As a member, you will help select your local Governors, who hold the Homerton’s Non-Executive Directors to account and work for you as members.

As a member you can:

  • receive e-newsletters with information about the Trust and our services
  • stand for election as a Governor for your constituency
  • vote in Governor elections

You are eligible to join, if you are:

  1. over the age of 16 and live in Hackney, the City of London or in the one of the outer constituency boroughs (Barking, Camden, Enfield, Epping Forest, Haringey, Havering, Islington, Lambeth, Newham, Redbridge, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest or Westminster)

    Or

       2. a student in training at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, no matter where you live.

Staff members
All staff at the Homerton who are employed by the Trust, or have a fixed-term contract of at least 12 months, are automatically members of our Foundation Trust.

How do I become a Governor?
For those who would like to be more actively involved, members can run for election to the Council of Governors. Elections are typically held in the summer. Communications will be sent to all members with further information on how to run, and how to vote, closer to the elections.
