Membership
How group membership works.
A step-by-step guide for schools, nurseries, childminders, theatres, community groups and charities.
Four steps
Join once, then it's simple
Join and choose a start month
Name your collectors
Renew
Pay by transfer
Step 1
Join and choose a start month
Your organisation joins once online, picking a start month up to three months ahead. A primary school joining this way would choose the coming September as its start month.
Step 2
Name your collectors
Priced by how many people will use the materials, but you only name the people who collect for you: up to ten. A school might name three staff as collectors at join, and can add or swap names any time from the account.
Step 3
Renew
Renew online from the account before the term ends; a 30-day grace period keeps your membership continuous if a renewal runs late.
Step 4
Pay by transfer
Organisations can pay online by card, or by bank transfer: the account shows an "Awaiting payment" status and a reference for your transfer until staff mark it received.
