How to Buy Shares

GUIDANCE TO APPLY

(Note these are repeated on the application form – but just supplied here for convenience to help navigate this page)

  1. Please read the Share Offer Addendum Document so that you understand the key facts about this new share offer.
  2. Then please read the original Share Information Document alongside the Privacy Notice (both are posted below). Both are critical to understand before you buy shares as it fully explains your investment in the Chequers.
  3. If you have further questions – please email membership@savethechequersroxwell.co.uk; Note that any additional questions asked throughout the process will be added to the FAQ section at the end of this page.
  4. Last time, we did several in-person and online drop in clinics but due to both the holiday season and a number of local Roxwell Events being held we are likely to make ourselves available at these events. We will advertise our presence there in advance so you don’t miss out.
  5. Download the relevant Share Application Form (either Individual or Company), complete it with your details and the number of shares (in £s) you wish to purchase. If you are an existing shareholder – the minimum investment for this offer is £50 if you are a new shareholder then (as it was before) it is £250.
  6. Pay by either Cheque or BACS (either method should be made payable to Roxwell Chequers Community Benefit Society Ltd and our bank details are on the application form(s) below with what to quote as a reference)
  7. Send it via:

Q5: Can people who had pledged but have since passed away still be named on the Founder’s Board?We have been approached by some family members and relatives of people who wanted to buy shares, but who have since passed away. We have agreed that in such cases, should the family wish to go ahead and buy shares in memory of that person, their name can be remembered on the Founder’s Board. Please contact us if you would like to do this.24/06/2024
