    Membership - Organisations Not Eligible

1. Party Political organisations.  A purely political purpose is not charitable and the objectives of an organisation which is party political are not consistent with those of the Council for Voluntary Service.

2. Religious Organisations.  Where the organisation is not involved in wider community activity or where the beliefs and activities are at odds with the Council for Voluntary Service's Equal Opportunities Policy.  Most churches, mosques, temples and synagogues are often involved in various community and voluntary activity and can be eligible.

3. Pressure Groups.  Where the objectives of an organisation are solely to change the law in some particular direction, its purposes are not charitable and therefore it is not eligible.

4. Organisations not active in the Medway area.
