Let's work together to protect the buildings we love

We need your support more than ever during these challenging times to save old buildings from decay, harmful alteration, and demolition. Treat yourself or a friend to a membership that you can enjoy from home. You'll receive a stunning welcome pack, instant access to our online resources and events, and our quarterly SPAB Magazine

 

Gift membership

SPAB membership is the perfect gift for anyone who loves old buildings. With a welcome pack full of SPAB goodies and four copies of our quarterly magazine, it is a thoughtful and attractive gift that lasts all year, and which also helps to support our work. Individual membership is £63, or if the recipient is under 30, it’s just £36 a year.

Frequently asked questions

 

Can I join the SPAB from outside the UK?
Yes! We welcome members from all over the world. Please sign up using this form here.

 

I'm an existing member. How do I renew?
You'll hopefully have been sent renewal reminders by email or post. The email reminders contain a personalised link that you can use to renew your membership online. You can also renew by logging in and then clicking on the red welcome back button in the top right corner. Click 'view profile' in the dropdown list and you'll be able to renew your membership from there.

 

Can I pay monthly?
You can! We've launched monthly direct debit payments in 2023 and, unlike many membership organisations, we won't penalise you for opting to pay monthly instead of annually. You'll pay the same amount overall for your yearly membership. Please use our monthly direct debit form to sign up. Existing members can also use this form to switch to monthly payments when they renew.

 

Do you offer a membership for students or retirees?
We don't have a dedicated membership for students or seniors any longer. But we do offer concessions for those earning less than £18,500 per year after tax. There are more details here.

 

How do I join SPAB Ireland / SPAB Scotland / a Regional Group?

Members living in Ireland or Northern Ireland automatically become members of SPAB Ireland when they join the main SPAB. Similarly, members living in Scotland are automatically members of SPAB Scotland

If you live somewhere else, you can still subscribe to SPAB Ireland and SPAB Scotland's email newsletters and attend their events

All members receive the same magazine and have access to all the other benefits of membership, such as the property list and online events. All membership administration is handled centrally by our small membership team.

When you join as a member, you'll also have the option to choose which Regional Groups you would like to hear from. You don't have to live in that area to subscribe to emails.
