What if I cannot commit to regular giving?
Some people or organisations may be unable to commit to regular giving and prefer to become a member for just a year through a one-off donation. We appreciate and value this kind of contribution. Membership for one year can be at Bronze, Silver or Gold level with the same benefits as set out above. The donation must be at least equivalent to 12 monthly payments by standing order. Therefore:
- Bronze level membership costs £60 for one year, with a single donation.
- Silver level membership costs £180 for one year, with a single donation
- Gold level membership costs £300 for one year, with a single donation
All the benefits will stop at the end of the year and in the case of Silver or Gold level membership, the person’s or organisation’s name will be removed from the website.
Your membership application
Please complete the form below and press submit. We will notify you within a few days if your application for membership has been successful. It is activated once your standing order is set up or your one-off donation has been received.
Thank you so much for your interest in membership.
