G:up is an alliance of member organisations.

An alliance is an agreement or pact to achieve a particular aim allowing members to contribute without the contractual obligations to commit resources. It is:

1. Joining in pursuit of common interests




2. A pact to achieve a particular aim; an agreement that says will help each other without specifying or committing time or resources

The reason for doing this is to formalise and strengthen our existing collaboration, but to do so without creating any big top-heavy structures. The G:up steering group has developed a constitution which gives full details of how the arrangements would work under the alliance.

We would like to invite you to become a member of G:up

Membership is FREE and open to all voluntary and community organisations that:

• Operate in the West Midlands region (whether local, regional, national or international organisations)




• Work with children, young people, or families, or in the play sector
• Share our vision of the West Midlands as a region respects and acts upon the needs interests and aspirations of children and young people and the voluntary and community organisations working with them




• Want to work collaboratively towards making that vision a reality

The consititution and membership form are both attached. A simple version of the membership form is also attached for those with slow internet connections. The wording is identical but logos and visual information are not included.
