How We’re Funded

As a union, we function through a dues model: our members support us and this means that we are accountable to members and put members’ interests first. A membership-funding model gives the union political independence, and ensures that we are democratic and member-led. Member subscriptions keeps us working for you, our members. You can join here.

We have also received financial support from Trade Unions, who may affiliate to the Greater Manchester Tenants Union. We value such support highly, and if you want to ask your union to affiliate, contact us.

We also seek external funding to support our activities and enable the growth of the union.
