Membership Changes 2025
We’re making some important changes to simplify BORS membership processes. These updates have been carefully considered and shared with the BORS Trustees and members at the most recent AGM.
Key Changes:
- Single Payment System:
All membership payments will now be processed through GoCardless. If you’re not already using GoCardless, please sign up and complete the required forms. - Single Membership Rate:
From 2025, we will have one standard membership rate of £50 per year. Student members will no longer have a separate rate but will benefit from discounts on conference fees and eligibility for awards and fellowships. - New Payment Date:
Membership payments will now be aligned with the annual conference. Payments for 2025 are due by 1 August 2025. February payments will no longer be taken.
To join please complete the online membership application form and GoCardless Direct Debit membership payment form available here.
