What does being in arrears mean?
Being in arrears simply means members’ payments are not up to date. This is generally because a member hasn’t sent a payment to renew their membership, or because their direct debit has failed or been cancelled. There is a 6 month grace period in which people can bring their payments up to date, otherwise they will lapse and their membership will end.
Rates?
The Party offers several different rates. Most members pay our Standard rate of £5.88 a month and many choose to pay more to support our campaigns.

Change the date of your direct debit
Unfortunately, all membership direct debits are collected on 21st of the month. However, this is something the Party is currently investigating and hopes to add several dates in the near future.
Lapsed
Unfortunately, if your membership of the Party has lapsed then you can not renew your membership. If your membership has reached this state then you will need to re-join the Party as a new member. We would love to have you back with us and can do so by clicking here
