You’ll receive a confirmation email with your Membership number within a day of activating your Membership. The email also gives you some tips on how you can start using your benefits straight away.
Your payment covers a period of one year from the date we process your application.
If you’re paying by direct debit? We’ll take your payment yearly, but we’ll let you know before we do so.
At absolutely no extra cost to you, Gift Aid allows us to claim back 25p for every £1 that you donate to us. Gift Aid is a government scheme that helps charities like the Southbank Centre increase their income.
If you set up a direct debit with us you’ll save money on the first year of your single or joint Membership. Your payment covers a period of one year from the date we process your application. We’ll take your direct debit payment every year, but we’ll let you know before we do so.
The direct debit discount is only available in the first year you take out Membership using this payment method.
Joint Membership means you can share all the benefits of Membership with another named person. You both get a Membership card, you can come together or independently, bring a guest each to the Members’ Lounge, and both get free entry to the Hayward Gallery.
We’re afraid not, our Memberships are non-refundable.
