How to join

Individual membership
This is open to all individuals who share Partnership’s interests and goals. There is a single annual membership fee for members anywhere in the world of £27 (one copy).
Subscriber organisations

(UK Churches may choose a higher level if they wish to receive more publications. For overseas churches, these rates are subject to negotiation.)
Some churches add a donation to their membership fee. This is a great help to us as membership fees cover only a fraction of the costs of Partnership's work.
(2) Partner organisations. For organisations which share Partnership’s goals and wish to give a degree of support to Partnership. Annual fee: £40 (two copies).
Perspectives-only membership
Individuals and churches in Africa, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka can receive Partnership Perspectives and International Perspectives only (i.e. without the additional publications) for a special annual subscription of £10.
Standing order: If you would like to pay by standing order, please ask for a standing order form.
GiftAid: Some individual members generously give more than the basic membership fee. Any amount exceeding the basic £27 a year qualifies under Gift Aid, provided that the donor pays UK income tax and he or she requests that the donation be treated as being under Gift Aid.
