    Membership & Renewal

    Ash u3a membership is managed via the Beacon Portal and payments made using PayPal or your Credit or Debit card

    Our annual membership fee from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027 is £11.00.

    For new members joining after 31st March 2027 the fee is £6.00 until 31st August 2027.

    To join Ash u3a or renew your membership please click the appropriate button at the bottom of the page.

    If for whatever reason you cannot access Beacon or are unable to make a payment, please use the Online Membership Form or make a bank transfer.

    As a last resort, you can download the form and complete by hand then make payment at the Monthly Meeting where the Treasurer will be in attendance.

    Gift Aid

    If you are a UK taxpayer, you can allow Ash u3a to reclaim tax on your subscription as Ash u3a is a registered charity, number 1091390. However, if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations it will be your responsibility to pay any difference to HMRC.

    Gift Aid on Joint Membership Payments

    If a payment comes from an individual account, only one claim is allowed. To ensure both donations can be claimed, members should pay from a joint account or make two separate individual payments.

    Third Age Matters Magazine

    The Third Age Matters magazine is no longer included in the membership fee. If you wish to receive the magazine please follow the instructions on the making payments page.
