New applicants – joining fee

New applicants for membership are required to pay a joining fee to cover the sign-up process along with their first year’s annual subscription.

Annual subscription fee £158 + joining fee £40.00* = £198.00 (first year only)

Direct Debit – 10% off

Pay by  direct debit to benefit from a 10% discount on your membership fee. To get set up talk to the Membership Team on +44 (0)20 7566 1820 or membership@mrs.org.uk. On payment you will be issued a receipt by email each year once your payment has been processed.
