What if I cannot commit to regular giving?
Some people do not have regular, predictable income and may wish to become a member through a one-off donation. We equally appreciate and value this kind of contribution.
It is done by conferring Bronze membership lasting at least a year (ie £60 is the minimum one-off donation under this provision). The membership will then last for as long as the initial donation, if it had been given in £5 amounts monthly.
