Shareholding membership

Penwith Housing Association (PHA) is a non-profit making company with charitable status which has two categories of shareholding membership, residents and community members.

We encourage residents to apply to become shareholding members of the association. From time to time, we also invite non-tenants to become community shareholding members of the association to help with our work.

What does membership offer?

As a member you will:

• have the right to attend and vote at the AGM and other general meetings
• receive our annual report and audited accounts
• receive a copy of our regular PHA News
• have the chance to vote on any proposed changes to our rules
• receive a share certificate.

The board may reject applications which do not fall within its membership policy. There is also a legal restriction on the number of members with local council connections. You are asked to declare these interests when completing your application form.
