Is Membership Plus Right for You?
Membership Plus is ideal for organisations that:
- Employ staff
- Use or are considering outsourced payroll services
- Need ongoing HR advice and support
- Want access to Health & Safety expertise
- Prefer predictable costs and fewer suppliers
- Want to save valuable staff time
- Need support from a team that understands the third sector
If your organisation employs people and regularly relies on payroll, HR or Health & Safety support, Membership Plus is often the most cost-effective option available.
Why Choose Membership Plus?
Everything you need in one place
Running an organisation comes with enough challenges without having to manage multiple contracts, suppliers and support services.
Membership Plus brings together essential operational support in one package, helping you:
✅ Save Money
Many organisations find Membership Plus offers better value than purchasing payroll, membership and advice services separately.
⌛ Save Time
Reduce administration and spend less time managing payroll, policies and compliance requirements.
⚠️ Reduce Risk

🤝 Stay Connected

Pricing and VAT Exemption
Membership Plus is charged quarterly at
£275 per quarter, plus £40 per employee.
Membership Plus is VAT-exempt, which can provide significant value for organisations unable to reclaim VAT.
For many organisations, Membership Plus represents a more cost-effective way to access membership, payroll and specialist advice services through a single arrangement.
Because every organisation is different, we’ll be happy to discuss your specific circumstances and confirm whether Membership Plus is the best option for you.
Please note that, to comply with the VAT exemption, we cannot offer discounts on HR consultancy and our Recruitment Service that are normally included in the HR Advice Service. This is because these are VATable services, and we are unable to include discounts on VATable services with a VAT-exempt membership.
