Membership Options & Fees
We have a number of different membership options, including for children, young people, and those on a lower income. All DEI memberships are annual, unless otherwise specified, and it is also possible to pay for most memberships in monthly instalments by Direct Debit, which spreads the cost of the fees over the whole year.
If you’re not sure which membership option is right for you, or would like to discuss any aspect of becoming a member, please pop in for a chat or contact our Membership Officer, Carrie, on [email protected].
