Become a Member

Make a regular donation and become a member of Friends of the Cotswolds for only £2 per month.

Our members are very important to us. And we want to give something back to say thank you. You will receive our e-newsletter and also be invited to exclusive “members’ only” events. What’s more, the first 100 members to join will also be able to receive a free copy of “The Old Prison” by Michael Banks; an in-depth history of the building from the mid-18th century until we purchased the site in 2013. Look out for our email once you’ve joined, as we’ll be contacting the first 100 members to arrange for collection or delivery of the book while stocks last.

Memberships are for one year, the payments are made from  your bank account using direct debit and we will email you when it is time to renew.

    If you would like to donate more than £2 each month, we can help you to set this up. Just send us an email and we'll happily arrange this for you: info@friendsofthecotswolds.org
  • Thank you for choosing to become a member. It really makes a difference to us. We’d love to stay in touch with you from time to time, to tell you about our work, fundraising and campaigns. It is cheaper for us to contact you via email, and this cost saving allows us to spend more of our money on our charitable activities. Where it really counts. If you’re happy for us to contact you in this way, please tick the box below. You can change your mind at any time. Just send us an email.
    If you are a UK tax payer we are allowed claim back tax from HMRC on your donation. This increases your donation by 25% with Gift Aid and it doesn’t cost you a penny.

Direct Debit is the easiest way to donate to the The Friends of the Cotswolds. With Direct Debit your donation comes out of your bank automatically each month, until your membership expires (12 months unless you renew).

Once you submit this form, you will be redirected to our payment processor to set up the Direct Debit. Please complete the Direct Debit instruction. This will be used to instruct your bank or building society to pay the Direct Debit.

This Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits.

If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit, The Friends of the Cotswolds will notify you at least 14 working days in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed. If you request The Friends of the Cotswolds to collect a payment, confirmation of the amount and date will be given to you at the time of the request.
If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit by The Friends of the Cotswolds or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society. If you receive a refund you are not entitled to, you must pay it back when The Friends of the Cotswolds asks you to.
You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society. Written confirmation may be required. Please also notify us.
