We value our members as a vital part of the governance and accountability of our organisation.

Best of all, our membership is free for eligible groups and individuals - so that no matter what your financial resource, you can enjoy HTSI Membership!
The TSI in Highland ensures local service delivery through our Partner Organisations with whom third sector groups can enjoy membership and enhanced member services separately from membership to HTSI.

The Third Sector Defined:
The Third Sector is made up of community groups, voluntary organisations, charities, social enterprises, co-operatives and individual volunteers (wherever they volunteer). An organisation is regarded as being in the third sector if it:
-
has a positive community purpose
-
is run by an unpaid (or mostly unpaid) committee
-
is not principally set up to distribute profit to shareholders
-
is not run by or affiliated to a political party or a government body
