Interested in joining?
If you'd like to arrange a free 20-30 minute conversation with one of our friendly CORC Regional Improvement Officers to discuss your organisation’s needs and how we can help, please just get in touch: corc@annafreud.org. No obligations, just an exploratory and informative opportunity to discuss.
Annual associate membership is available for voluntary and not-for-profit organisations at a cost of £450 (+VAT). Further information is available here.
CORC membership typically runs for one year with two membership windows available - 1 April to 31 March, and 1 September to 31 August. In order to accommodate the specific priorities or budgeting arrangements of organisations, extended or bespoke membership periods are available on request.
If membership is not quite right, or now is not the right time to join, but you would like to keep in touch, you may like to join our free CORC Network to become part of our learning community and received monthly updates on the latest research findings, best practice, tools, shared learning and events emerging from CORC's members, projects and collaborations.
I see our membership with CORC as a way to drive our service improvements and provide a better and more effective service for our young people and their families going forward.
