Interested? Then do complete the membership form.  Information on subscription rates or alternatively time contributions is given below the form.

Subscription rates and contributions (money and/or time).

We would really like people joining SSM to contribute.  We know people’s means and abilities are not all the same, so this can take different forms, and be small or large.

Our pay what  you like scheme.  We are an unfunded organisation with no paid workers. So we need a small flow of money for running costs, mainly, to pay for publications, hire of rooms etc. If you can contribute to our expenses, it will make a big difference. Please base your  financial subscription on what you think is appropriate. The subscription is for the calendar year, i.e. it becomes due on 1st January. We love standing orders which help us to plan.  You can also pay via paypal using this link.

For guidance, we suggest:

  • Solidarity level:   £9 per month by standing order, or £108 per year.

  • Standard level:  £1.60 per month, or £19.20 per year. – please take out via your bank, e.g. via Internet banking – find out bank details HERE.

  • Unwaged or low waged level:  £2 per year.

It is very important to us that everyone feels equally welcome; whether you can pay nothing, 20p,  the levels above or £1000!  We have had contributions at all levels in the past and owe our survival to them all! If you would like to offer hours that would be wonderful too whether it is helping at events –  making tea or clearing up, promoting events, writing, researching are all equally important and valued. You can offer hours as well as, or instead of, money.
