MCS is a membership-based organisation and there are several different membership types.  All our members have voting rights at our Annual General Meeting, are invited to attend our Quarterly Business Meetings, and contribute to the growth and development of our charity.

Different types of membership include:

Board members or Trustees voluntarily give their time to manage the overall finance and development of the service as Directors of the Company Limited by Guarantee and Trustees of the Charity.   

Staff members provide a service to the organisation which may be clinical, management or administrative. They may be paid at a sessional rate or offer their services on a voluntary basis, often on clinical placement from their training organisations.

Professional Associate members (PAMs) are already working clinically, independently of MCS. They can join MCS by paying an annual fee and can get involved in the development of the charity. PAMs have access to our CPD sessions, study days and supervision, for a reduced fee.

We send out regular newsletters to our members.

Support from others who may share an interest in or work elsewhere in mental health and therapy, are past or present clients, or are members of the public willing to give some support us in whatever capacity they can. This could take the form of verbally telling those in need about our services, distributing leaflets, following our media presence and helping make sure our social media posts are seen.  

Of course, as a charity, our work will always benefit from donations or bequests too.

Please get in touch in you’d like further information.
