Concessions for people with low incomes
You might have noticed that we haven’t offered concessions to over 70s or other groups who might have low incomes. We do want to be as inclusive as possible and support people who cannot afford the full membership price, but recognise that age or disability alone do not automatically equate to a low income. Unemployment, for example, can happen at any stage of life. If you are over 16 and would like to apply for a membership at the concession price of £5 per month please contact us with details. We may need to ask for further information but will be as supportive as possible and treat your request in confidence.
