Get involved
For many people, being a member of Prospect and getting the support and peace of mind that comes with being in a union is enough.
Many others choose to get even more active in their workplace, contributing to campaigns or supporting colleagues directly by becoming a rep.
Whatever you choose to do, there’s no “right” level of involvement and fellow Prospect members and union staff will always be there to support you.
Here’s how you can get involved:
If you are…
- …not yet a member? Join Prospect
- …ready to take the next step? Start now
- …interested in becoming a rep? Let us know
- …already a rep? Check out our helpful resources and tools

Why Paul joined Prospect
Paul Delaney, a National Trust ranger from the Lake District, joined Prospect in 2003, and has been a big trade unionist his whole life, “I come from Northern Ireland where there’s a big trade union thing going on anyway, it seemed a natural thing to do.”
The importance of joining a trade union is something that Paul encourages within his workplace at the National Trust, “I tell my colleagues, certainly our younger colleagues that trade union membership is important because it gives you a voice, it gives you an ability to influence your pay, your conditions, your health and safety.”
