Trust membership

One of the guiding principles of being a foundation trust is that we are accountable to local people.  To help with this, we invite people from the community to become members of Pennine Care. It’s free and open to anyone over the age of 16 years.

Being a member gives you the chance to influence how we develop health services locally, as well as decisions about our future direction.

We currently have 21,000 members, made up of local people, patients, carers and our staff. But we would like even more of you to join, to help fully represent the diversity of our communities.
