Frequently Asked Questions
If I join when will I receive my membership pack?
We aim to get your pack to you within 10 working days.
Can I join if I don’t live in the UK?
Yes! We have members from all over the world that support our work. Overseas membership is for those that don’t have a UK address and can be for one or two adults at the same address. The increased rate helps cover the additional admin costs.
I am already a member but would like to purchase a years membership for a friend - is this possible?
Yes, let us know when completing your paper or online form that it is a gift and who it is for. We can either send the welcome pack to you if you would like to give it in person, or we can post directly to the recipient.
How can I pay for membership?
You can join online by PayPal or credit/debit card. You can also join over the phone by credit/debit card. Alternatively you can complete and sign a form to set up a regular monthly or annual Direct Debit payment. Please contact the membership office if you’d like a form to complete and pay by Direct Debit.
Will you automatically take another payment from me when my membership is due for renewal?
We don’t hold any PayPal or credit/debit card payment details once your initial payment is taken. When your membership is coming to the end of the 12 month period we will send you a renewal letter. This has all the information on how you can renew your membership if you wish to.
If you signed up for membership via Direct Debit the payment will continue until you cancel. We will send you a reminder before this happens, so you can amend or cancel the payment before it is taken. This follows the Direct Debit guarantee and is a safe way to pay for your subscription.
I would like to join but can’t really afford to pay £30 - can I pay monthly?
If you would like to support the Trust you don’t have to pay for the year up front. You could consider setting up a Direct Debit payment and pay £2.50 per month.
I want to join but would like to give a different amount - is this possible?
Yes, the amounts on the membership form are the minimum subscription rates. We welcome anyone who would like to pay more.
Why do you need my email address and telephone number?
We ask for this information in case we need to contact you about your membership. We do not pass this or any other information on to third parties. By giving us your email address you will also be able to receive our monthly e-newsletter which will keep you up to date on wildlife news and Trust events. You are able to unsubscribe if you do not wish to receive this information.
Can I get my pack and all future magazines via email instead?
Unfortunately, we are not able to currently offer our mailings via email. We hope this is something we can offer in the future. If you would like to become a member but would prefer not to receive any mail, please do let us know.
What is Friends of the Islands?
Friends of the Islands membership is different to Trust membership and has different benefits. Members of the Friends receive two newsletters throughout the year with information on the Skomer and Skokholm Island. You will also be invited to the Friends reunion which takes place once a year and is a chance for the Friends to meet up with some of the island staff and talk to them about the work they do. The money raised from Friends subscriptions goes directly to support the work on the islands.
Can I become a Friend as well as a Trust member?
Yes, and if you do so you will receive a £5 discount. For example, individual membership is £30 and Friends membership is £12, if you join both you only need pay £37.
What is gift aid? What happens if I sign this part of the form?
If you are a UK tax payer then please sign the gift aid declaration. We can reclaim the tax paid on the money you give so that your support can achieve more. This does not cost you anything extra. Read more about Gift Aid.
