Amendment to Membership fees

This charity exists to ensure no one faces congenital heart disease (CHD) alone. Everything we do, from our annual patient event and support services, to informative resources and community events, is made possible by you.

We know that everyone has felt the impact of rising costs in recent years. Just as the cost of everyday items like food and energy have increased, so has the cost of delivering our services, support and events. For example, a free Supporter place at our annual patient event can cost almost as much as a year of Supporter Membership, whilst printing and postage costs have also risen sharply along with our counselling, youth services and core running costs.

We have absorbed these increases for as long as possible, because this community really matters to us, but to continue offering high quality support, we now need to make a small adjustment to our membership fees.

From 1st April 2026 our membership fees will be:

  • Supporter Membership: £6 per month / £18 per quarter / £72.00 per year
  • Patron Membership: £75 per quarter / £300.00 per year
Please note your Membership fee will appear on your bank statement as ‘Go Cardless’
