Membership
Membership of ERSA is open to all organisations that provide services delivered as part of publicly funded programmes designed to assist with employability or the creation or sustaining of employment and which agree to abide by ERSA's rules and whose interests are compatible with ERSA's members.
ERSA members receive a weekly report summarising all parliamentary and political activity relevant to welfare to work providers and daily relevant press cuttings. Our members find this is a highly useful service.
Meetings for all members are held every other month where guest speakers come and present to members at the end of the session. Previous guests include: Jim Murphy MP, Minister for Employment and Welfare Reform; Danny Alexander MP, Liberal Democrat spokesperson for DWP; Cay Stratton, Chair National Employment Panel, Helen Cross, Head of London Skills for Life LSC. Members are regularly consulted on policy and consultation documents.
If you would like to join ERSA, please complete the membership application form and return to ERSA, 101 Newington Causeway, London, SE1 6BN or gila@ersa.org.uk
ERSA is governed by a Board of Directors comprising representatives of members. The Board is elected anually by all ERSA members. Board papers are available to members, and Board meetings may be attended by members in the capacity of an observer.
