SHC Membership

We are delighted to now be able to offer a Membership scheme answering the question "How can I do more to help?"

Aside from generating income to cover our costs to continue legal climate challenges and lobbying the Borough Council, County Council and the Government as well as the numerous unelected organisations involved, it also allows us to demonstrate the true level of support.

With this provable support, it opens avenues for SHC to join forces with other organisations that are also actively pressing for changes to the way that coastal erosion is dealt with by government agencies.

This is an entirely voluntary donation and will have no bearing on becoming a member.
