Solidarity Membership builds on the existing support many organisations already provide to ADCH, including sponsoring our annual conference. In addition, Solidarity Members may also contribute by helping to deliver events, providing resources that benefit members, and volunteering their time and expertise to support ADCH initiatives.

This membership is not a replacement for any existing membership but an opportunity for organisations to deepen their involvement. By securing essential resources, Solidarity Members help ADCH continue uniting the sector, ensuring we can provide valuable services and opportunities for all members, regardless of their size.

We’ve initially invited Band A members to explore this model, as many have historically supported ADCH and the conference with significant sponsorship. However, we would be more than happy to discuss this option with any ADCH Full Member that may be interested.

Starting at £20,000, the fee for Solidarity Membership plays a vital role in ensuring ADCH remains accessible and beneficial to all members. For example, the sponsorship provided by our Solidarity Members helps to subsidise the annual conference, keeping it affordable for all members.

Solidarity Members enjoy all the benefits of full membership, along with conference sponsorship, which provide opportunities for increased visibility and sector engagement.
